AMAZON ORDER EXPERIMENT

"I didn't order this".That may be true. But that response may not stop Amazon from going forward on a sales experiment I dreamed up. This is how it would work. In a few select cities Amazon will preemptively ship product to only single person household Prime members. The products selected will be based on artificial intelligence of past ordering interests of customer and internet perusal topics of the Prime member. Amazon lawyers assure that inappropriate selected products will not be subject for cause of a law suit. Because the law provides no damage done as only recipient know what the order is.Bezos and Amazon are counting on the fact that Prime customers are addicted to cardboard package on the doorstep to keep lid on returns.

Drone Assassination :Personal Revenge

Drones are different. Something completely new. Humans fault/fall out lie with their ability to be in more than one place at a time. They take up more space than they need/deserve. Money and technology enable this chaos of constant change and consumption and exploitation. But drones deliver a kind of deus ex machina wheres individuals can kill, spy or destroy without a trace. Heretofore guns needed to be fired by some one in firing range.Which necessarily is an entirely different risk to the shooter.But with a remote controlled drone the firing range is increased exponentially . Who was behind the drones act of murder etc?Jeff Bezos of Amazon and Google Ventures and some venture capitalists want access to the space above our heads. Package deliveries being one object.That's one use. What about the thousands of unintended possibilities.Suppose Hillary Clinton was giving a speech in an out door venue.How could the Secret Service protect her from a gun equipped drone?Bin Laden could have used a dozen or so drones for each Boeing 787 to make a point.Federal Aviation Administration is trying to codify rules for drone use in an urban environment. Ain't going to work.Free access to drones in air space above our heads amounts to trespassing which can never be made legal without significant blow back of self defense.GPS equipped Drones will deliver efficiency in assassination.Venture capitalists all have addresses. Politicians all have addresses. Wildlife poachers all have addresses.We are on equal democratic footing now.We all have an air force if we want it.
