The actual email was too wild to fit in the title:

> Middle East is perfect perfect to test clinical wearables (due to no legal or policy restrictions) an also to experiment w remote telemetry (don't have to leave home / great for gender issues there)

I'm puzzled by "great for gender issues there". What does that mean? Most or all middle eastern countries are heavily invested in binary gender roles, stop me if I'm wrong.

Maybe the woman barely leaves the house so always in range of WiFi?

What clinical wearables are they talking about?

This world is foobar (fucked up beyond any recognition).

The world was always foobar, and is a lot better now then it used to be. What's important is to not kid ourselves we live in the best of all possible worlds and accept the present as normal. Things can always be better.
