It's disgusting that companies behave like creepy stalkers when they have your data, but...
I think it's interesting that mankind shows this need to quantify itself and achieve a sort of data-driven physical self-awareness. We're seeing the first generation to possess this kind of data, and I look forward to seeing what Smart People and Other Hackers can do with this data and their physical self-awareness. Perhaps when mankind has satiated its desire for physical self-awareness, we'll be able to return to our spiritual and philosophical sides. If we're not all already slaves to the global state.
Or perhaps when we're oppressed by the global state, that will be the time for a new revolution and re-birth of rule by thinking people, similar to what happened when the American colonists threw off the oppression of the British monarchy, resulting in wonderful but short-lived goodness of the US Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, founding fathers, etc.
