the unibomber pointed out that improvements in technology lead to loss of liberty for common people. its not a very nice conclusion, but the guy was very smart. so far he seems to be right from what i have seen. the wealthy elite class of rulers always has the most access to the latest technology, and their power is predicated on controlling the masses. they lose their power if they don't hold on to it, so that even if there are good rulers, they are outcompeted by bad rulers.

I've been thinking about the unibummer a lot lately. He was so right so long ago.

Fortunately, governments are also losing their privacy.

governments are the line between the lower class and upper class. not saying they don't get corrupted, just that it is not really governments that lead, rather they tend to work as tools for the wealthy elite.
