Surveillance breeds conformity.

Morality is the custom of one's country and the current feeling of one's peers.

Morality is the herd-instinct in the individual.

When you try to grasp the way the Western world is going, you see that we are on a ratchet towards a surveillance state, which is coming to include the whole population in its surveillance. This is our reward for accepting the restraints on the way we live now.

Morality arose largely as an empirical defence of the individual and society. Ever since intelligent beings began to be in contact, and consequently in friction, they have felt the need to guard themselves against each other's encroachments.

The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.

'Moral police' is my new word. I am very against the media doing moral policing, giving opinions on actor's lives. Media should not become moral police; they should just report.

The moral disapprobation of society has an impact on behavior in societies.

The concept of surveillance is ingrained in our beings. God was the original surveillance camera.

Our culture is in moral chaos. On TV we celebrate freaks instead of honest, decent people.
