My brother is basically a 1960’s hippie who kept most of the values and opinions that he had as a teenager. He is alarmed at the techno-surveillance and medical oddities of our time. He is also genuinely very confused right now. Talking to him about Afghanistan, he was of the opinion that many and perhaps most of the women there want to live like the Taliban commands - invisible, in burkas, and unable to safely take a walk alone in their neighborhoods. He is twisting himself into a pretzel trying to reconcile his world view with evidence of profound dishonesty and corruption. Interesting times.
That sucks.
