deeeeeep shit I'm wondering how culture might change after hypothetical surveillance began. I don't think we'd smoothly adopt a more publicised way of life, obviously- Bits of what we do now would be taken away or added to at different points and there'd probably be a lot of experimental trends. Sort of like the Internet revolution. Maybe we'd become more theatrical in all our actions because we feel the need to perform, or maybe we'd just give up looking good because we can't always keep it up. Maybe there'd be a lot more introspection and criticism, or maybe we'd just get desensitised to knowing things people don't want us to know. Or we might not even think in terms of knowing and not knowing, just about how to present unpleasant facts. And I mean, there's sure to be that one group who acts atrociously all the time just because someone somewhere is watching, and it's probably going to involve fursuits.
