Re: Using sequences of life-events to predict human lives
#52“the most comprehensive registry data in existence, available for an entire nation of more than six million individuals across decades. Our data include information about life-events related to health, education, occupation, income, address, and working hours, recorded with day-to-day resolution.” I shuddered just reading this. What a nightmare for individuals’ freedom and privacy. What a bloody nation is that?

How do we build a system where there is enough trust that this data will be used for “good”?
I'm not sure this is possible, but I am sure that any attempt to control human behavior externally will fail.

And here I am just watching Kaczynski’s predictions all the way back at 1970 become truer with the decade. Technology clashes with human autonomy. It’s even argued that the path of technological progress would not change even if you there were aliens, AI bots, any entity with the instinct of self-preservation, intelligence and replication. The mechanisms of the macro-system comprised of human biology + technology are…

Address the problem that people have a proclivity to do "bad". Call it mental health, resolving trauma, spiritual practice. When people are no longer wounded and "broken" internally, they will go out and sculpt the outer shared physical world to match their improved internal state, and all will be good. I'm not sure this is possible, but I am sure that any attempt to control human behavior externally will fail.
