Radicalising "realism", why do societies sanction murder if all people
have to die anyway? ;-)

But seriously, in the context of camera surveillance: Analogue argument,
you are in public space, everyone could watch you at the streets, why
bother camera surveillance? Shouldn't a citizen expect to be recorded on
tape? etc.

I am all for "worst case expectations" but often it's a human slippery
slope that we tend make these views "normative" and as a result promote
practices that make things worse and discourage higher ambitions and
standards.

Best,
André
