Episode notes
The Chinese have developed a surveillance system named Skynet with 700 million CCTV cameras, leading to concerns about the use of technology for control and surveillance. The danger lies in the potential perversion of scientific advancements for evil purposes. Norbert Wiener's idea that every tool can be a weapon emphasizes the importance of using technology ethically. The need for government, law, and order is crucial to prevent the misuse of scientific advancements and ensure that science flourishes in a free and orderly environment, unlike in dictatorships.
