0 FollowersThe Digital Enclosure deconstructs mainstream programming and propaganda narratives in an era of intense censorship to offer thought-provoking content that challenges the prevailing status quo orthodoxy suffocating the world. Having worked within the IT industry for several years, I have keen insight into the core elements of the emerging global, militarized, financialized, gamified, "Internet of Everything" architecture being built up around us under the auspices of "Pandemics", "Climate Change" and the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This technofascism will be all-encompassing and pervade every aspect of our existence if we fail to recognize it as such and act accordingly. Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies such as those championed by the World Economic Forum are being embraced by industry, corporations and governments. These include AI, Blockchain, Smart Cities, Smart Contracts, Digital ID's, facial recognition, CRISPR genome editing, and bio-nano tech to name but a few. They will be neither emancipatory, nor will they be empowering for the vast majority of people. Rather, they will end up subjugating us under a terrifying new species of totalitarianism. They are meant to advance the Ruling Classes' self-interest, automated. They are the big frauds towards digital slavery and enclosure. Imagine, if you will, a world kept under a constant state of emergency and where the majority of the population is dispossessed of their jobs, their savings and their health. Imagine a world where emotions, attitudes and behaviors are continuously social-engineered through AI algorithms, relentless propaganda and censorship to have us acquiescence long-standing notions of human rights and individual sovereignty through Communitarian feel-good slogans such as "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion". Imagine being continuously bombarded with narratives about "Climate Change", disease epidemics and racism instigated by a shady nexus of global stakeholders - billionaires, corporations, NGO's, educational and faith-based institutions - leveraging a raft of techniques that involve corporate governance, ESG frameworks modeled from the UN SDG's, the Vatican's "Inclusive Capitalism" and fascist Public-Private Partnerships. Image a world where access to life's provisions is negotiated in real time through a nexus of Digital ID's, environmental/embedded sensors, AI, blockchain data ledgers, reputational scoring, and geofencing. Imagine a world where Social Impact and "Pay-For-Success" finance schemes force people to exist as tradable Human Capital commodities. Imagine a world in which people are sorted onto individualized "life pathways" and spend the bulk of their remaining existence interfacing with a mixed reality video game (Web 3.0), as Hedge Funds and financial speculators make enormous sums gambling on predicted behavior and compliance. Sadly, these are not by-products of an overactive imagination. There is another force driving our march to the abyss. It enthusiastically marches forward within the universities and from within quarters of the scientific community itself. To quote Zoltan Istvan, "Transhumanism is the international movement of using science and technology to radically change the human being and experience. Its primary goal is to deliver and embrace a utopian techno-optimistic world—a world that consists of biohackers, cyborgists, roboticists, life extension advocates, cryonicists, Singularitarians, and other science-devoted people." Transhumanism, eugenics and synthetic biology are abhorrent abominations. With their ascendancy, one could argue the greatest challenge unfolding before us is to remain unadulterated Human Beings in full possession of our own bodies and our own minds. We are engaged in an epic struggle between The Sacred and The Profane. Choose the future you want. But choose wisely.
