Is Aurelias the most overrated stoic?

Upside down 10 means you get a 01.

any bias. credentials are pretty worthless at presuming the quality of someone's work: he could just as well argue that data collection is the pinnacle of the free market we should all strive toward.

just that titles that exist solely to grab a potential buyer's attention instantly turn me off and make me cynical toward the potential of the work. not saying it's justified or not

>After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.

>I have always thought that servitude of the regular, quiet, and gentle kind which I have just described might be combined more easily than is commonly believed with some of the outward forms of freedom, and that it might even establish itself under the wing of the sovereignty of the people.

Okay, so what do you think he has to gain by being biased against big data? Do you think all these EFF and anti-DRM activists are doing it to benefit themselves?
When you have people who once worked for the USDoD or other government data collection agencies, highly educated experts in the field coming forward and trying to warn people about it, they're probably not just blowing hot air. Even if they can think of no better way to inform than using attention-grabbing titles.
