Things work differently for different minds, I find that Courseras model of commitment works better for me. I tried 2 Udacity classes which are self-paced, I actually did quite a lot of the modules but somehow I moved on. On Coursera you have to live with the class and at least try to make all assigments and such on time. I think one thing that works good for me is the feeling of having a special oportuinty and "if i dont do this I will be left behind in the new age". Dont get me wrong I would love to be the kind of person I thought I was; searching the web, finding places and things most people would not assume were there and then putting them together. But I need the feeling of being on a "quest" and building up a illusion of "if I make this, things will change". Latter rambling is maybe more general, my point is some people (me) just cant handle the notion of almost force-feed overflow of accesible information and thinking that everybody doing it, so why bother (if the retention in the article is true that should be instrumentaly good for my crazy notion). Sorry for the crazy rant, if only the mind lacked biases. Maybe I should atleast try those mentioned in the article instead of being overpowered by strange thoughts.

Who are this post intended audience? (surely not all) How do you know that you are the person before this 'change', and have not already made one to many sacrifice of your self.

Maybe Im stating the obvious, but I can't see this being true for virtually all people, yet how do you know I youre one of them.

So anyone want to take on the challenge of building a "Person of Interest" like system and hook it up to these publicly accessible cams, it would obviously be less early-warning as its fictionally one. Maybe I would try it but I assume the computing resources needed would be large, but wouldn’t a bot-net solve that. Or maybe my first brush of ML experience has left me naive of its capability’s.

Of course a 'Global Citizen Operative' would have to take action also, it is not like I proposed a "Global responsive network of autonomous drone to enforce peace and harmony" to would do that instead.

Sorry for the up in the clouds comment but the merciless hand of insomnia grabbed me and prompted my mind to wander.
