picture an ultraportable communication device that doesn't track you, that doesn't control you, that doesn't surveil you, and that does everything you'd like such a device to do for you (https://www.fsfla.org/~lxoliva/#0G). compare with what the snooping remotely-controlled device you carry on your pocket, and realize its huge opportunity cost, both objective and subjective. see the problem?
