[FRIAM] What should we do?

[Nick Thompson]

Thanks, Marcus.  

 

I agree with most of what you say, but - just to be obnoxious - doesn't
cooperation of any kind make us vulnerable to manipulation?

FOLLOW in the next four years.  But is that avoidable.  Isn't concerted
action what we will need?"

 

Systems that involve having somebody to follow are systems that can be
surveilled and controlled.   If people are informed (#8) and act
autonomously or in a multi-lateral fashion (#s 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15),
it is harder for the bullies to prepare a defense.  I think #18 and #19 are
pretty dark for most folks to consider so far, but I'm glad there are
professors that aren't sugar-coating it.
