Mass surveilance and censorship. Its lightweight compared to China, but having to KYC yourself for things like issuing the internet or just exchanging some cash. Cameras everywhere.
Even the new cars, when you go over the speed limit, the cars system annoys you until you slow down.
Maybe I'm just in a certain part of town...
Place looks neat and everything vibes 22nd Century... but feels a little too... authoritarian?
Might be a different situation come tomorrow. Tired. Noticing things.
Seoul is interesting.

People seek retreats for themselves in the countryside by the seashore, in the hills, and you too have made it your habit to long for that above all else. But this is altogether unphilosophical, when it is possible for you to retreat into yourself whenever you please; for nowhere can one retreat into greater peace or freedom from care than within one’s own soul, especially when a person has such things within him that he merely has to look at them to recover from that moment perfect ease of mind (and by ease of mind I mean nothing other than having one’s mind in good order).
So constantly grant yourself this retreat and so renew yourself; but keep within you concise and basic precepts that will be enough, at first encounter, to cleanse you from all distress and to send you back without discontent to the life to which you will return.
—Marcus Aurelius
First new release in years to actually give me goosebumps. The lyrics cut to the bone…

Can get behind "matute" content when done skillfully -- Kubrick as an example -- but just to be edgy... *yawn*
Remember... Bitcoin is not money... =_=;
