I talk to them every day. However I don't think we'll need to, nor does ceding the battlefield to the enemy grant victory, although it can. I am expecting this tech to leak, and become available sooner rather than later, as I see that the more tech advances the faster it disperses, and the greater power it avails individuals versus institutions.
What is frightening about this is that covert ops certainly attained this tech long before it has become public, and it is pretty much able to be employed remotely. Even if we forever swore to not employ any tech that could transmit optogenetic signals, covert ops could deploy them against our will - and apparently without our recollection of it after.
I have long considered the plethora of threats to the well being and understanding of free people to require substantial defenses, and have feared they would not eventuate. This remains the case. However, when this leaks and becomes available to the public, it is very likely that specific defenses to this method will also. Noise is pretty easy to introduce such that it degrades a signal, particularly signals dependent on exquisite specificity for successful deployment.
Let's hope so. If it's not, the end is indeed nigh.
Thanks!
it does make striking from stealth easier, provided a person hadn't already been tagged as an "anti-government activist"
iirc, it may be an indicator to look at someone more closely if they have been active in social media, and then suddenly go dark
otoh, somebody that was smart would have compartmentalized their online political presence a long time ago...someone smart =/= me
I don't think the end is near; I think we will see a continuous screwing down of one racthet at a time, one degree higher every year, etc
