Good points. But the plebs happen to serve these folks. Not to mention congressmen/women tend to be a lot easier to follow than billionaires. Also the paparazzi are a crafty folk being handed another tool to be sneaky. We'll see.

How close do you need to get for facial recognition with a device that is designed to vacuum up every face it comes across? After a couple of scandals about who was out where with whom, that's all it would take.

Buy a pair and follow rich and powerful people around with them. That's how they become illegal.

What chain of logic brought you to that conclusion from what I've said? Step by step please.

And extra weight I imagine, making it more expensive to launch.

I did not resort to swearing or insulting you. I think I'm done talking to you.

It's not a terrible metric if it's used as it was initially intended. IQ was supposed to be a benchmark to show where you're at, like weighing yourself on a scale. Then you're supposed to take measures to improve it. It was never meant to be a defining attribute or a contest. Bragging about having a higher IQ than someone makes as much sense as bragging about how much skinnier you are than someone else. Bragging about having a 135 IQ makes as much sense as bragging about weighing 135 lbs.

Being fat is objectively unhealthy and in fact a chronic disease. It brings with it high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, higher mortality rates in younger people, diabetes, higher rates of heart disease, blood clots, arthritis, strokes, poor sleep, and a hundred other things. And it's in fact a chronic disease that can be cured. Without drugs.

I'm not saying this as an indictment against fat people. I'm not saying it's okay to fat shame. I'm saying this as a simple fact that being fat is unhealthy and has real consequences. I am also saying it is morally wrong to say it's okay being fat. Saying being fat is okay teaches people that health does not matter and they go on to live shorter more painful lives.

I don't think I'm smarter than you. I think you're over thinking this.
