You’ve never seen someone put their phone in their pocket or purse, without turning off the screen first?
I’ve seen lots of people do that. A couple times I pointed out why it’s not a good idea. But people who do it, just don’t seem to care. My mother has done this exact thing to me several times. She calls me back later, when she sees that I called her, wondering what I wanted.

Unless you’re actively being targeted for some specific reason (NSA kind of reason) in practical terms it’s unheard of.

The United Federation of Planets

How would you?
Date men and women? Anyone can do that.
Go further? You could be still be pretending.

You can’t really externally “prove” an internal subjective feeling.

I’m still not sure I understand exactly. Are you asking about individual autonomy, or the collective autonomy of humanity?

I would say there’s no real difference on an individual level. I guess conceptually, humanity as a collective entity, might loose autonomy. But I’m not sure that matters.
