“It was the fire insurance industry that got together and created fire departments,” he said. “We should be doing the same thing here. We need some fire brigades, because things are on fire.”

pretty sure Nero wasn't an insurance adjuster......

but a reminder on how it went when insurance companies got involved

quote:

New York City companies were famous for sending runners out to fires with a large barrel to cover the hydrant closest to the fire in advance of the engines.[8] Often fights would break out between the runners and even the responding fire companies for the right to fight the fire and receive the insurance money that would be paid to the company that fought it.

isn’t there an ending for a Deus Ex game where you choose whether to psychically connect a strong AI to human minds, with the idea that it conducts opinion polling subliminally and near-instantly from every living person in order to make decisions for the whole planet?

it absolutely rules that every aspect of social and political thought in the US is a real-world version of the Don’t Create the Torment Nexus joke

Wasn't this exact phenomenon the untenable social atrocity that initially got Social Security implemented in the first place? Cool to see the country's titans of industry and finest political minds have successfully degraded the population's sense of compassion and shared humanity so sufficiently since then that we can finally metabolize it while doing everything possible to slash social safety nets at the exact same time!
