Wouldn’t it be convenient to immediately know where your kids are, or whether you left the stove on, or if your heartbeat is irregular? Of course.

So, how do we get all the benefits of those things without allowing the people who scare us to see that same info? I assume the word “blockchain” should be involved, but I honestly don’t even fully know what it means.

But, on a similar level, what terrible or awesome things would happen if the entire internet was hacked by someone and they made every person’s phone/computer/keystroke/bank/location history searchable by name?

Here’s my vision:

1. Everyone would find out cringy, embarrassing secrets about the people they love the most. Most of them would be legal, but everyone would be shocked or pissed off at several people.

2. Every online child porn perpetrator would be identified and arrested, or killed. Every fraud would be discovered. Every crooked politician, most murderers,

3. Lots of people would kill themselves. Mostly people who did nothing “wrong” besides have a weird kink or say mean things about their friends, but also people who committed crimes and knew the jig was up.

4. Lots of divorces, breakups, and fist fights, but also, lots of people finding out who likes them and who agrees with them about things.

5. Everyone would find that a lot of the “weird” things we do are not that weird after all, and the remaining people would be a lot more open with each other.

Anyway, that’s all. I’m just sitting and thinking.
