We used to have to be able to communicate with other humans to build something. It seems to me that's what they're trying to take out of the loop by doing the things that humans do: talk to other humans and give them what they're asking for.

I too am not a fan of the dystopias we're ending up in.

That said, I think fining the company seems pretty plausible. They won't, but it'd be nice if they did.

Location: "Think about Japan", "Compare that to the US" - this is a pretty straightforward comparison by location about culture based on location.

It presumes a bunch and I'm grunching (and showing my age by using that term), and I'm not trying to disagree with you . . . just highlight the comparison you said you could not see.

While I'm dreaming and unaware that I'm dreaming, it's like I'm in real life. As soon as I start to wake up at all, everything fades to black almost instantly. I recall the experience as if I lived it though dreams are strange so it's far less consistent than a normal narrative.

What kind of memories? I often completely fail to encode and remember highly visual details - like what color hair someone has, what shirt they were wearing, and so on. But I could recall the name of the building in which my college showed the Matrix in the fall of 1999 because I could remember which way I walked there.

If I want to read something and retain it well, I will hear it in my head in my internal voice as I'm reading.
