This is frustrating, and scary, downright 1984-ish, but, what can we do? Simply shun all the technological advances we’ve had for the last 100 years? Move to a cabin in the woods with no power and hunt, fish, and gather again for sustenance? Even sending a paper check through the mail has your account number on it.

Yeah, you're right. From government mandated brain implants to sending a check through the mail, there's no way to assess any difference in appropriateness

And anyway, we are helpless to do anything no matter what we learn.

Jerk.

Aside from the fact that I inadvertently deleted a whole paragraph before the thing about the “check through the mail” before posting (therefore making my post incomplete), I’m not sure what makes me a jerk.
