  1. Surveillance, reverse data anonymization, behaviour analysis, and autogenerated prosecutions.
  2. Make middle managers and CEOs feel special.
  3. Make stock numbers go up.
  4. Tax incentives on processing power upgrades while environmental laws are at a low and entrenching will allow negligence to continue.

  6. The perception of positive change during a time when stagnation is nearly absolute in the west.
