I would argue that similar tech in our lives causes similar issues. We don’t write things down anymore - just scroll on, with a fragmented mish-mash memory of what we’ve seen. Some capacity for retention gets exhausted in a given day. Just what I’ve observed in myself or among friends/family.

Place your bets everyone, which way do you think this will go?

1. Canada doesn’t pass the surveillance law

2. The law passes and some/all of Signal/DDG/NordVPN remain anyway

3. The law passes and they exit Canada

4. (something else)

Interesting commentary on this by historian Aparna Nair on Bluesky. Essentially, saying that caste and discrimination is inherent in a certain cohort of the society which adhere to racism and eugenics.

Very interesting and credible. I recognise the hypervigilance part, and it sounds like there’s some practice/training as well as “instinct” in there too.

I’m relieved to hear that. I’m thinking back about the times where I might have missed something like that. Not a comfortable thought. Thanks for the reply!

That is absolutely terrifying. Good instincts on your part. I’m assuming/hoping she was okay?

That was a terrifying read, but thanks for sharing. I’d like to be able to spot it.
