Utah Total Information Awareness Secret Data Center OK I don't want to sound alarmist or anything. The data center is going to be practically useless. It will capture honest citizens and exploit them for profit of course, but it won't be any more effective than Facebook, and there will always be ways around it. The problem is, simply in such a facility being built, we have already lost. Tell me, how much money do you make per year? What if I told you that someone figured out a way to spend 6 billion dollars at once? On a building out in bumfuck Utah that won't do any good? Now, that in mind, how much is your salary actually worth? Now take a look at the complex going up, the hundreds even thousands of people in there, the gallons and gallons of crude oil, the materials being shipped (and guarded) from far and wide. That takes a hell of a lot of people, and in that those people are doing those things, even the ones who are only complicit in that they continue to value money, not in any sort of directly applied labor, we've already lost. We can work around this data center until we turn blue and that won't solve the problem that this data center exists. People built it. They still manage to sleep at night. Your fancy crypto won't solve the problem that there are millions of people even billions who feel it is their duty, right or obligation, to build fortresses like this. Why? Because they value money. Because you value money. So, find an alternative that doesn't leave room for a million people to mysteriously find money appearing out of thin air to coerce them into building such a data center. Then maybe your crypto will be worth looking at. But until you find an alternative to money itself, to economics, to banking, to what you consider to be friendship which (as the existence of this data center proves) is not working at all, then we'll all be screwed. Clever but petty encryption schemes are just distractions for what you want to do. Stop this building from being built! I care a lot if my emails are getting monitored. But you know what I care more about? Every day dozens of gravel laden dump trucks thunder by my house. Who authorized their use I don't even know. Their destination, nobody told me. No signs, no indication of anything. Why would my oppressors care about some dumb email I was sending about furry porn, when they've already got me helpless, ignorant and bound to do nothing but watch their gravel trucks thunder by depleting the resources I could be using instead for something less opulant than building fortresses? When were they going to ask me permisson for this?? When were they going to ask you? When were they going to ask the drivers for permission, or the people shovelling the gravel?
