Sometimes I try to imagine a world where scientific young minds enjoyed greater rewards for revolutionizing, like, farming methods, manufacturing, or energy, rather than the dark patterns used to optimize ad-clicks at Google and Facebook.

Probably this is because nuclear weapons (atomic and hydrogen bombs) along with bioengineered diseases carry too much risk of mutually assured destruction.
A weapon in the form of a computer crack is simultaneously both safer (on the superficial surface) and riskier (in absolute abstract capability).
Now, we don't even need mystical MKULTRA mind control experiments — we literally have the literature for mind control everywhere, thanks to Big Tech. We don't need heuristic cults, such as the Elan School or Square Inc., to do the dirty work anymore. Computers can now automate and centralized mainstream social media platforms addicted and dependent of privacy invasive ad revenue provide all of that for us now.

Don't use biometrics for anti-fraud.
In fact, don't use biometrics for anything. – Edward Snowden (@Snowden) at 7:24 PM · Oct 23, 2021
The Hated One already has a video about biometric (non)security.
However, I'd like to hear if Snowden has any thoughts on biometric (non)security.
