One of the great selling points of neural link will be that it is much harder for criminals to snatch it off you on the street. …one of the down sides is it will be much worse for you if they do force it off you on the street!

It can be yeah, Oxford street is a major spot. A few other places too. It's sort of normal to see people totally masked up, all in black, going up and down a small section of a high street on surron bikes.

They actually have these warnings in America too, though in our case they actually warn the criminals to be careful so that they don't get shot while trying to rob someone.

Their motorbikes are really fast. It's quite difficult. It's hard work. It's easier to cook the books, arrest a middleclass person leaving their allotment with a gardening tool.

This actually happened by the way. Easy pickings, good for the stats. Will be chalked up as taking a weapon off the street. Well done police lol

Honestly looking around me when I see boys like this going inches away from people. A lot of people have no/little situational awareness.

I actually turned to someone right next to me once and said, you probably want to put your phone away. She was too lost in a text message to even notice me saying this. Or notice the sound of the Sur-ron, which is not quiet lol

i feel the threat level whenever i am in cities i think there is something inherently dangerous about people being jammed together at such a density as london, new york, amsterdam, etc. makes it much easier for thieves to disappear, makes it much easier to get away with a lot of crimes that would get spotted by country people.

I think cities also require police to play with their stats more. And I don't think I can say any more on this as I live in the UK. But you can see it in the grooming gangs scandal.

Have you ever read: It's a curious read, I never finished it, gets quite repetitive. But interesting that this was a top selling self help book in the 90s apparently. It's very similar to a Thomas Sowell book. Unthinkable that this would be a best seller now.
