Regarding the RFID piece, I submit that a review of O.B.I.T., an “Outer Limits” TOS episode from the early 1960s, is now very much in order, perhaps even mandatory,
but only if we are interested in the survival of our civilization.
Regarding Buiter’s piece:
I think we should take the issue even further. I think we all should have equal access to Buiter’s home. I’m sure it’s nicer than mine and why should he be the sole enjoyer of something he acquired through amoral intelligence, arrogance and blind luck?
