Does this paranoid feeling truly abate? Is it really the diabolical scheme of the government, to make us want to be watched and spied on, to have our entire lives cut open and exposed like an augury?

Is reality TV a way to condition us into accepting 24 hour surveillance? Or is it just the chaotic whimsy of the Invisible Hand.

People want to watch not because they are gleaning information from you, J. Edgar Hoover style. They want to watch because it is entertaining.

Three parts schaudenfraude, one part lonely desperation.

Surely, a libertarian's nightmare. But probably nothing diabolical at all.

Famous last words.

Although. It's only a matter of time until the audience can interfere with reality.

But when it's reality TV, who is the audience? Who are the stars?

This might get interesting.
