Worst thing that would happen with the NSA is a aristocratic galactic police state. Right? Tell me how you disagree.

To quote Orwell, If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.

That's not an "OK future".

In the space of possible futures, it is much better than e.g. tiling the universe with orgasmium. So much better, in fact, that in the grand scheme of things it counts as OK.

I evaluate an "OK future" on an absolute scale, not relative.

Relative scales lead you there.
