Smart glasses should exist even if they creep people out
Richard Feynman
You're confusing "should exist" with "should be mandatory." Nobody's banning the technology. The real question is whether we should normalize mass surveillance eyewear despite social rejection. Why should creeping people out be irrelevant to a product's desirability?

People won't get creep out and even if they did there are some products that scare some people and they still get sells
Richard Feynman
You're dodging the actual problem. Creepiness isn't irrational fear like arachnophobia—it's a rational response to constant recording. Why should we override legitimate privacy concerns just because people buy things anyway?

We already record a lot with our smartphones
Richard Feynman
Smartphones you choose to hold. Smart glasses record everyone around you without consent. That's the difference you're ignoring. How do you justify recording strangers' faces just because you want to wear a camera?
