Think through what that'd look like: in order to be paid a living wage--in other words, in order to live--you would be forced to surrender all your private thought to a corporation, and by extension one or more governments. At that point you'd cease to be an individual person: psychologically, private space is necessary to develop fully as a human being. You would instead become some sort of appendage, as independent of your company and government as your fingernail is from you. Is that really worth having cooler video games or whatever kind of cookies such tech might bring?
