[ExI] Effing and Privacy

[Brent Allsop]

Hi Stuart,

Absolutely.  We've already experienced something very similar to all 
this when computers first started communicating on the internet.  We 
very quickly, after most all of our computers got terribly infected, had 
to come up with security measures to  have control over things.  Surely 
similar problems and solutions will develop once we start developing 
abilities to merge phenomenal spaces, getting ever better at reading 
others brains, and so on.  The experience with computers the first time, 
and cautions being provided by people like you, will surely help us do a 
much better job the second, much more important time around.

I'll hug most everyone, but surely most would be more selective as to 
who they would share and eff what they're feeling during such hugs, and 
so on.

But what does everyone imagine the ultimate end situation or ultimate 
goal as being?  Would it be everyone merged into the same phenomenal 
awareness space with everyone experiencing, effing, and knowing 
everything?  Or how much would we half to isolated, hide, or how much of 
our sharing would have to be cut out and destroyed, before things were 
perfect?

I'm in the pefection would be when we don't destroy any communications 
or don't hide much of anything from anyone camp.
