Steelman the argument. They didn't say take it away from everyone, they were responding to the idea of taking away cars from alcoholics. We absolutely can take away alcohol from people who are convicted of DUI, as a condition of their release from prison. We do it already in a few places across the US, and it reduces recidivism quite a lot.
But we still restrict sale of alcohol to minors, suggesting that it, like driving, is a privilege granted only to those we trust to control it, rather than a natural right deserved by everyone.
Make the drone carry a couple of orange cones (or just look like an orange cone itself) and you can even have it save the spot it finds until you get there.
I've found using a passport card for ID instead of a driver's license to have several advantages, including that most places seem to be unable to scan it.
I think there'd be a big psychological difference between spend the next 10 years in jail, collect 400 million and you're in jail indefinitely, if you get out you may collect 400 million.
Interesting, why do you say "a decade ago"? Peaks are only identifiable in retrospect, but what would mark "peak baby" then, that was more peak that current events?
Ah, the "the "Everyone is Twelve now" theory of politics" doesn't mean literal young children. It refers to the mentality of the (often gerontocratic) leaders and their adult supporters. Infantilism, not infants.
I understand, of course, and was being mostly tongue in cheek. However, I do think there could be something to the idea that as the majority of the world has trended younger we notice a net decrease in perceived maturity across the population.
In addition, "worldwide" is misleading - the countries where the "Everyone is Twelve now" theory of politics is most evident are not the same countries where the population has recently trended younger.
It would make more sense (not much more, but more) to blame early life lead exposure in the generation currently at the top of the political pile. Or blame social media.
We're going to have to collect data on the ratio of bathroom graffiti between tags and limericks. Anecdotally, where I live a it's mostly silly goosery.
Just to be totally clear, here is an example. Please cover up my user name for an authentic experience.
A dozen, a gross, and a score,
Plus three times the square root of four,
Divided by seven,
Plus five times eleven,
Is nine squared, and not a bit more.
With the digital panopticon neither goons nor missles are really necessary. Opressive forces can just disable your spending and travel credits. If they need you dead or in custody they can just grab you the next time you pop up on camera near one of their agents.

"Disabled spending" already happened to the people in the ICC that acted contrary to Trump's diktats[0], without the need for a digital panopticon, both the banks and the government know who you are.
