131. I have been thinking of polygraphs as a complainant myself

Somewhat more complicated context than this. Mine is more tied to a general sense of alarm, distrust and distaste tied to the budding fugly surveillance state built and made by surveillance capitalists with little oversight and little protection for the better techies building/making it and none at all for (irate) and colpletely non volunteering human research subjects like me

I am not one of Zuckerberg’s suckers or patsies.

I have no objection to polygraphs
My only objection is to these invasive cottage industries exploiting my space and resources to screw me over.

This emerging PanOpticon we all live in now is full of parasitic industries involving ai and the kind of shit creepy people like Alex Pentland (formerly of the Epstein associated MIT lab and now with the slightly less creepy and mostly just douchey and tacky Stanford Hai. Stanford is the “respectable” one of the bunch. They are mostly douchey and obnoxious not outright creepy!!! They are the good guys!!!!) shill. Aaron Elkins and these lie detector shills tend to be pretty awful people.

But a polygraph administered by law enforcement in appropriate settings I at least have no issue with in proper settings where it is not this “in the wild” encroachment that is being corruptly normalized using specious logic applicable only to internet.

The internet cannot just unilaterally bleed into real life as I see it do complete with harassment and stalking plus bullshit analogies about Streisand effects etc (I mean probably. That is how those morons think or argue).

They cannot ignore the consequences of forcing the dynamics of the net and celebrity and entertainment culture, the world of electoral politics (as distinct from grassroots citizen action, activism and protest) into the real world with Google’s (shady and tacky) declarations and Pentland’s (creepy) worldview in places like India where I live.

Here acid attacks and gangrapes are common enough. And stranger danger as well as acquaintance danger exists, though most men and most people are decent as they are everywhere. This is not about India anymore than Trump and technoparasites and technofascists like Marc Andreessen, Chamath Palihapitiya, Balaji Srinivasan, are about the U.S.

But that doesn’t mean that safety should be bogus and exploit the innocuousness of most people to ignore the actual creeps and frauds.

This has been so hard to communicate to people whose brains like mine blur the real world and the net much to benefit of only these hucksters. Darpa connected computers. Humans are not bloody computers and the dynamics of the real world are not driven by algorithms but by human sociopolitics.
