Detecting “non-standard and potentially dangerous human behavior” is
worrisome. How does society evolve if nonconforming behavior is too-easily
detected. Reminds me of Project Sesame in China to punish nonconforming
behavior.


I immediately thought of #6 and The Village. The Prisoner, circa 1967, disturbingly portended much of our current 
surveillance state.

If you have not seen it, do so... It is very bizzare to say the least but thought-provoking.

(In one episode, the "Unmutual" hero #6 cleverly refocused the lynch mob's target from himself and instead toward #2, 
and the Village. Where is #6 when we need him?)
