Discussion on DARPA's LifeLog and Facebook

In 2004,

there's another LifeLog program that

gets, sorry, LifeLog is a DARPA program

that gets shuttered in the wake of the TIA explosion.

It shuts down the same day

that Facebook is launched and the project manager of LifeLog,

Douglas Gage, later on was like, Facebook is exactly

what I wanted LifeLog to end up becoming.

Interesting that. And then Peter Thiel,

fresh off of privatizing total information awareness,

and there's some detail we didn't get into there,

like the involvement of Alan Wade and how that ties

in with all this other stuff and how

the CIA had intimately been involved with TIA.

And that's why you have the CIA and Palantir coming together so early, blah, blah, blah.

Read the article.

It's all in there.

So LifeLog was basically a way to create,

the goal was to create basically a narration

of a person's life and episodes, basically a surveillance log

of everything you've ever done in discrete episodes that are tied to geolocation,

like where you are and who you're with,

with photographic evidence and all of this other stuff.

So I mean, it literally is Facebook.
