Our private and social lives, our public existence… and all of our electronic activity, comprises a new form of analytical commodity of inestimable value. It is the precursor to entirely new forms of intelligence and ‘opportunity’, and these forms are being »invented right now. But a deadly problem has come with them: we are being ‘harvested’, and these commodities are not only being stolen by corporations (and governments), they are being »reshaped by their agendas.
A crucial priority is the common and personal retrieval of these potentials, datasets, analytical and behavioral opportunities. We are being deprived of commodities we are not even equipped to recognize, let alone defends. Those assets belong to us, personally and communally. It is unimaginably dangerous to have them taken and leveraged by governments, hackers, and for-profit corporations.
We are the new slave-race. And, like those before us, we must assert our sovereignty, develop our intelligence, and retrieve the possibilities of our humanity and intelligence… personal and collective, from the forces that at once deprive us of these… and reshape them… for ends that are neither human nor communal… for ends that lock us in the role of the pyramid builders.
These are the most important commodities in human history, and what we do or fail to do, right now… will preframe the future. We must escape … if not destroy… the modern ‘Egypt’ of electronic behemoths… and replace them with something at once humane, intelligent, and pro-actively protective of our rights, privacy, activity and assets.
We, not corporations, must shape the future of our electronic interactions… with and for each other and the history and future of life on Earth… not for the profit of false collectives, banks, and ‘shareholders’.
