I can't help thinking that it's a sort of mental deformation that happens when you work for a company that deals with people's private data as commodity.

Got a call yesterday in the middle of the day: "Hey, it's Patrick from Google, is it okay for you to talk now?" I said it wasn't, and he said he'll send an email. The email was "so yeah, when is a good time for you to talk". No intro, no stating of the topic (turned out to be recruiting.)

So these assholes assume they own everyone's time and could could cold-call people and expect they'll jump out of their pants just to talk them.

the whole idea of a generation ship in sci-fi is pretty dang problematic, isn't it? like you have a whole ship whose crew has their entire life drafted into service without being given the opportunity to consent. seems like even ignoring the ethics, for it to even be functional it would require very heavy doses of omnipresent propaganda.
