I have been waiting for company like Palantir to come up. Imagine if we can catch child abusers before they can do too much damage.


Hello 1984


Since we already have read that it will be different. Imagine a world where we all have neural sims integrated with something like Palantir. So many criminals will be caught. Found a body dumped in a swamp, lets query who has been there. Don't we all love when criminals are caught from CCTV recordings.

Is it scary, yes. We will need to be more involved in the democratic process.


What is your obsession with catching criminals, and what makes you think that punishment reduces crime? Wouldn't it be a more efficient use of resources to target the socioeconomic factors that lead to crime?


> Wouldn't it be a more efficient use of resources to target the socioeconomic factors that lead to crime?

Nobody wants to vote for those things, you misunderstand what problem governments are trying to solve by being tough on crime.


I want to vote for those things.

I'm told by my blue friends that I'm naive. Reds call me a socialist.

This is by design. It is intentional. Billions of dollars are spent giving people these 'views'.

Sanders gave people an opportunity to vote for "those things", and he was the clear favorite to take out Trump - until Democrats pulled every dirty trick to scupper his campaign. Again.

So people really do want to vote for these things, but massive effort is put into not giving them the option. Sanders is the most popular politician in America, every year - and instead of helping him, instead of boosting him, the Blue team stabbed him in the front, in the back, in the eye balls, etc.


>until Democrats pulled every dirty trick to scupper his campaign

You mean it's the democrat's fault that 20 somethings didn't go vote? I liked Bernie, I voted for him, but the demographic he targeted apparently preferred swiping through tik tok to improving their world so he learned a hard lesson a second time.


Looks like someone fell for the media narrative.

Young people voted in record numbers for Bernie.

And his demographic was everyone - the elderly had the most to gain in many ways.


Come to think about how important it was to catch the "criminals" in Nazi-Germany. Who where the criminals again? Scary times.


Tools like these will also help with that. We will be directly able to measure a Childs nutrition and intervene if the parents are careless.

I have watched many cases of child and elderly abuse which were not just due to lack of education.

People have different passions mine is a criminal free world.


> People have different passions mine is a criminal free world.

Is this a joke, or just naivety to the point of comedy? Mind you "criminals" can be anyone if its politically convenient.


Lets make it politically inconvenient. We can outsource democracy to politicians, citizens need to be involved.


Given the amount of abuse ICE has done to children they are most likely a net contributor to child abuse.
