Easy solution to facial recognition and surveillance fears.
Give everyone an implied copyright over their own face, voice, or expressions. It would have a lot of consequences the most notable being you cant record people in public without their permission. But I think its the only real compromise if you really want to prevent it. It also means cops cant take your fingerprints or a photo of your face, which I'm kinda ok with.

Been writing a simulation of the ising ferromagnetism model in c++ since I realized its been years since I wrote anything in c++ and that's concerning.
Current mood, thankful for modern language features. Going back to c++ has made me feel far more appreciative of rust and its enforcement of safe memory practices. Also, I forgot how ungainly and c++'s feature set is. Its time to stop.
I remembered this epic quote from Good Will Hunting and now I need to watch it again:
You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. And look at you... I don't see an intelligent, confident man... I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. But you're a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my fucking life apart.
