Great post, seriously. It hones in on a big part of what I think is the malaise of modern day society: either be the best or don't even try. A lot of people are choosing the second option.
One of my friends just complained about all the surveillance. FLOCK cameras are big news in certain right wing circles, but my friend was more complaining about everything else: dashcams, ring cameras, home surveillance systems that all tend to capture an entire street. For me, sure, I think that's not the best, but really, it's one of the absolute best ways to protect yourself and also fight crime, provided that crimes captured this way are actually prosecuted. I think they're pretty much necessary at this point, too, otherwise, there might be an even larger crime wave without them. So perhaps that's another way things have become much more efficient. Why use witness testimony when you can have a perfect piece of evidence? I wonder if it contributes to the background noise of the small percent of the population that goes insane.
