I’m loving it. There’s virtually nothing they can do. If there’s one thing even typical statists jealously defend, it’s freedom of speech and technology (sure, IP, but even that’s going by the wayside as fast as tech growth itself. See “Wenzel has no positive position because…”)
The only way to stop this kind of thing would be to outlaw 3D printing. Kind of like the only way to stop the spred of info is to shut down the Internet. There’s no way that would even come close to flying today, and people are waking up more all the time. (Exhibit A only a few posts above)
it doesnt matter if you want to go low tech or high tech, its way more expensive/difficult to keep people in line than it is to get out of line, the only way is to convince them to stay in line. people stay in line because they think its better for them, sometimes that is true in the case of the individual. its never true in the case of all individuals due to spontaneous order and creative destruction. people are only able to flourish in an egalitarian rights society, and people only leave that setting because they believe in lies and bad ideology. thats why the internet is so important, and thats why piratebox is also important.
I agree that stuff like that contributes to media overexposure and supports the transhumanist agenda somewhat. the part thats missing is the freedom of choice. theyre not going to make you wear these idiotic glasses. the thing to watch out for is the smartphones. and I love it when a guy on the internet whines about technology in general, or some new thing because its new. other than that, its good to get open source new tech, from what I understand glass is beta and is supposed to spur market innovation in terms of new apps and hardware. warez. isnt that what the kidz cazizzle it nizzow?
because you can take somebody out from across the room regardless of what they have in their hands. if that happened enough times, that means that agents of the state would have to interact with people from greater distances. you cant control a population from that far away, you cant talk to them or get them to do what you want. you have to interact with people to manage them, persuade them, and coerce them. that closeness exposes the agents of the state to nontelegraphic strikes, which means they have to work in larger teams. larger teams strains manpower and raises their profile, and in these ways limits the amount of territory that can be controlled. its the fourth generation war death spiral.
