Edward Snowden speaks about the current state of #surveillance_💬 in 2019.
(24 minutes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFns39RXPrU

This video was posted October 23, 2019

He describes how difficult it is to tell whether a phone is spying on you. He says the only way to be sure a phone is off is if you can take out the battery, although you can also monitor it with a meter that detects radio waves. He also mentions that he uses faraday cages for his own devices, to physically prevent signals from coming and going.

He goes on to discuss the larger issues of mass surveillance; how "terms of agreement" have been used disingenuously to force us into this situation; how certain legal precedence has disingenuously forced us into this situation by grossly extrapolating certain exceptional legal cases to apply to everyone at all times; and how big data has become such big business that there is a lot of power and influence in motion to try and maintain this era of surveillance.

He has also mentions his recently released book called "Permanent Record" all about how this surveillance stuff all works, and the implications.

He also plugs an article that he wrote with Andrew ‘bunnie’ Huang called "Introspection engine" that goes into a lot of detail about one way to mediate these intrusions by using an always-on meter to detect whether radio radiation is going in or out of a phone. Ideally, the meter could be built into the cover on your phone. That article can be found here: https://www.aneddoticamagazine.com/introspection-engine/ - but it looks like that's just a proposal, taken from the full 16 page booklet that goes more in depth about making it work here: https://assets.pubpub.org/aacpjrja/AgainstTheLaw-CounteringLawfulAbusesofDigitalSurveillance.pdf

A couple builds a tiny home for just $420! They use mostly found materials, and they aren't perfectionists, but the result is quite adorable!

"Maybe raising children really is a thankless task. Maybe there’s no reason to thank someone for putting their energies into a human who did not need to born. Then should we be trying to work against this impulse—as Miles said—pass through our childbearing years without bearing a child, no matter how much we might desire it; but to selflessly and with all our might do whatever we can to avoid it? To find our value and greatness in some place apart from mothering, as a man must find his worth and greatness in some place apart from domination and violence, and the more men and women who do this, the better off the world will be? Miles said we value warring and dominating men, the same way we revere the mother. The egoism of childbearing is like the egoism of colonizing a country—both carry the wish of imprinting yourself on the world, and making it over with your values, and in your image."

Facebook and other social media herd us into a Monoculture through positive reinforcement. Nothing new can ever be created artistically or politically if popularity is required to reach people.
