In the current political atmosphere, with the current technology all will come light and no one will be forgiven. Neither you, nor I, nor Harvard. Social media and data fusion has created a world without forgiveness or second chances. We are all uninsurable.
Second chances used to be provided by asymmetric information, what used to be called privacy. With the abolition of privacy and the absence of forgiveness nothing can go out of scope. We shall surely be poisoned by our own humanity, by a fatal memory management problem.
We've all got it coming to us kid. None will be forgiven. The problem is: who'll turn out the lights?
