Merge with machines? With a vaccine? I've had many vaccines. Am I 95% human now? or 90%?

Merging with machines as in doing everything over Zoom and in VR due to lockdowns, not as in being vaccinated makes you a machine.

I see it too. We lost many freedoms after 9/11 and it's certainly happening again with covid.

And the scary part of it is that it doesn't come from some authoritarian tyrant, but rather it's supported by most, or at least a very significant part of the population...

Somewhat unrelated, but FYI - No authoritarian tyrant exists without support of, or at a minimum, indifference from, most of the population. It may not be literally a majority, but it often is.
