David H. Price | American Surveillance State, Dual Use Anthropology, & The Restrict Act
Anthropological Perspective on Change, Future of Surveillance
When asked if the surveillance state can ever be unraveled, David Price references anthropologist Laura Nader's teaching that history is defined by constant change. While the current trajectory suggests a permanent lock-in, Price notes that no empire or system lasts forever. He suggests that a significant cultural or systemic failure might be required for the public to realize that the current level of monitoring is not a necessity.
