while overhearing the audio of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH05LwbqAVw
i get to thinking about trichorders for everybody again, and wonder upon the extents to which people may get, or be yet to get, the merit (even, necessity) and benefits of trichorders for everybody.

trichorders being simply a device for an individual that augments their ability to meaningfully sense more beyond their default senses. which may sound simple, but the cumulative effects of everybody being so empowered with the ability to sense far more... it's more than any of us are likely to be able to explore in the simulations in our imagination. well worth relaxing back, eyes closed, big slow full relaxed soft breathing, basking in free roaming contemplation of the world around us, with everybody upfront tapped in to information that broadens awareness, allows them knowing what's going on all around...

and it is trichorders... not phones for which there's a million commercial interests veying for your attention like con-men sharks in a casino, obfuscating some secondary features of a poor-man's trichorder. i mean a device that's designed for purpose through its entire stack.

built-in/integrated as wearables or even mutilations for the bold body-modders (not for me, obviously, with the way I call it mutilation), drifts of into both unimportant asides, and whole other important discussions, so I just keep it as a handheld device, foremost, rather than wearables or integrated cyborg components.

And it would allow you to know not just what is, but what's changed, over what durations, and more.

#trichordersforeverybody makes sense for #afullyinformedpublic
so long as it's #auditable #FreeSoftware ( / #softwarelibre / " #opensource " ) and editable #righttorepair #righttochange #righttoadapt #freehardwaredesign etc too. otherwise, what use would it be, to be unable to scan itself, and to deny you the right to have power over your own device (to change/adapt) even if it does let you scan it.

and it does bring us to, what for some, will be a bit of a quandry, with regards to #privacy and #radicaltransparency, which I think there are many mitigators and already-solved/self-solving merits to, as well as many other maladaptions for which there can be cascades of other compensatings. maybe its fear of empowering other people that has some people seek to disempower themselves too.
