Privacy and Health in the Technocratic Society – Mattias Desmet
“The fact the the human being is like a flower that only blooms when it can enjoy the shade of privacy once in a while is of minor importance in a technocratic worldview. Anyone who refuses to go along with the system lacks civic sense, considers oneself more important than the collective. Your health is no longer your personal business, because some diseases are contagious.”

Government Criticism in Times of Crisis – Yuval Noah Harari
“In a situation when you feel threatened there is less room to criticize the government because then you are immediately labeled a traitor. Like this is war now. We’re in a national emergency. We all have to unite around the government and anybody who opposes that or criticizes the government is a traitor. […] this is why very often even in a situation when there is no real threat leaders are manufacturing artificial threats.”
Yuval Noah Harari
