The Mayhem We Create: Could Our Minds Be Writing the Script of Tomorrow?

by Julie Telgenhoff

Look around today, and it feels like the world is constantly teetering on the edge of a cliff. From apocalyptic warnings to conspiracies like Project Blue Beam, to global objectives like Agenda 2030, a heavy cloud of dread hangs over our daily lives.

Many of us look at all this chaos and wonder if we are trapped in an inevitable downward spiral.

But what if the truth is far more confronting? What if we, through our collective anxiety and thought, are actually creating the very mayhem we fear?

We don’t need quantum physics to explain this phenomenon. The answers lie directly within the mechanics of the human mind. It can actually be explained through normal psychology.

The mind is powerful, but it is also highly programmable. When enough people repeatedly focus on the same fear, that fear begins to shape perception, emotion, and eventually behavior. The world may not have changed yet, but the person watching it has. Their nervous system starts living as if the feared event is already unfolding.

This is where imagination becomes rehearsal. A person thinks they are only observing danger, but over time, they begin preparing for it, talking about it, voting from it, buying from it, withdrawing from others because of it, and making decisions through it. Multiply that by millions of people, and a private fear can become a public reality.

That is why mass anxiety should never be dismissed as “just thoughts.” Thoughts become beliefs. Beliefs become behavior. Behavior becomes culture. And culture eventually becomes the world we all have to live inside.

Once that happens, fear is no longer just a feeling. It becomes a filter, a guide, and eventually a social force.

Here are three main ways this begins to happen. 

The Psychological Blueprint of Chaos
  • The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: When we deeply believe a specific outcome is coming, we subconsciously alter our behavior. Fearful and anxious people often make fearful decisions, creating a tense, hostile environment that brings those exact fears to life.

This can be seen even in religious circles. Many Christians who believe they are simply “watching for the signs” may unknowingly begin participating in the very end-times atmosphere they fear is coming. If they believe that total digital control is inevitable, they may spend years warning about artificial intelligence, surveillance systems, biometric IDs, digital currency, and global data centers until the entire public conversation becomes centered around those systems themselves. The more people expect a digital control grid, the more attention, money, resistance, fear, and fascination are poured into it. The beast system becomes not only something feared, but something constantly imagined, discussed, mapped, predicted, and therefore socially energized.

The same thing can happen with monetary collapse. If enough people become convinced that the economy is doomed, they begin acting from that expectation. They hoard, withdraw, distrust banks, reject ordinary systems, and spread panic. Some of those choices may be understandable, but on a mass scale, mass anxiety itself can create instability. A collapse that began as a prediction can slowly become an observable behavior pattern.

False flags work the same way. When people expect every major event to be staged, manipulated, or part of a hidden plan, they begin meeting tragedy with suspicion before compassion. Trust breaks down. People stop grieving together. They stop believing anything is organic. Every crisis becomes another piece of the script. Eventually, a society trained to expect deception becomes a society that can no longer recognize truth when it appears.

  • Confirmation Bias: The brain is a filtering machine. If you believe the world is ending, your mind will hyper-focus on every negative headline that proves you are right, while completely ignoring the peace, progress, and good happening right outside your window.

For Christians focused on end-times prophecy, this can become a spiritual trap. Every war becomes Gog and Magog. Every earthquake becomes a birth pain. Every new technology becomes the mark of the beast. Every global meeting becomes Agenda 2030. Every bank failure becomes the beginning of a cashless society. Every disease outbreak becomes another planned step toward control. The mind begins collecting evidence for the apocalypse while filtering out anything that suggests life is still unfolding in ordinary, beautiful, and rewarding ways.

This does not mean people should ignore corruption, technology, war, or real patterns of control. It means obsession can distort discernment. A person can become so committed to proving the end is near that they lose the ability to see anything else. Peace, mercy, and even community becomes invisible. The quiet work of God in our ordinary lives becomes less interesting than the next dark prediction.

And at that point, watching becomes worship. The feared future becomes the lens through which everything is interpreted.

  • Collective Consciousness: Intense, shared beliefs ripple through society. When millions of people feed on the same anxiety, it changes how communities interact, breaking down trust and fueling polarization through entirely normal, yet destructive, human actions.

This is where private fear becomes public reality. When millions of Christians, truth-seekers, political groups, and alternative media communities feed on the same end-times anxiety, the emotional atmosphere changes. People begin speaking as though doom is already guaranteed. They share the same warnings, repeat the same phrases, watch the same predictions, and brace for the same collapse. The future becomes a group meditation on disaster.

This collective focus can make people easier to herd, not harder. A fearful population can be moved by the very images it claims to resist. Show them AI, and they obsess over AI. Show them digital currency, and they obsess over digital currency. Show them global control, and they emotionally organize their lives around global control. In trying to expose the system, they may accidentally help make the system the center of human attention.

That is the deeper danger. The end-times mindset can become a psychological rehearsal. People begin living as if the world is already over, as if rebuilding is pointless, as if local life no longer matters, as if love, creativity, family, health, work, and community are just temporary distractions before the final collapse.

But what if that is exactly how collapse gains power? Not only through governments or elites or technology, but through millions of human beings withdrawing their energy from life itself.

In short: by obsessively monitoring the wreckage, we are accidentally steering the ship right into it.

The Antidote: Reclaiming Your Reality
If our hyper-focus on global dread is feeding the madness, the solution is incredibly simple, yet radically difficult in the modern world: We must unplug.
The most revolutionary act you can perform today is to close the news apps, step away from the social media algorithms designed to keep you angry, unbalanced, or hopeless, and walk outside in nature.

Reclaim your nervous system. Let your body remember that not every moment is an emergency. Breathe fresh air. Feel the sun. Put your hands in soil. Grow food if you can. Cook real meals. Move your body. Sleep. Laugh. Sit with people you love without turning every conversation into another prediction of collapse.

When you anchor yourself in the present moment, the global noise fades. You realize that your immediate world, your neighborhood, your family, your community, is where your actual power resides.

Writing Your Own Script
Instead of passively waiting for a predicted doomsday, we have the power to pivot. We can choose to make our lives the greatest possible version of ourselves.
That doesn't mean ignoring the world's pain. It means addressing it where it actually matters: locally. Lift up a neighbor who is down and out. Volunteer. Build something real. Smile at a stranger. Grow something. Share something in person. Build your community. 

Let the global chaos roll on without your permission and without your attention. By reclaiming your focus, your body, your home, and your local world, you stop feeding the mayhem, and you start building a life actually worth living.

The New World Order Is the Old World Order Wearing a Digital Mask

Written by Julie Telgnehoff

They call it the New World Order, but maybe that phrase is misleading. Maybe nothing new is being created at all. Maybe an ancient hierarchy is being restored through modern technology.

The kings are now institutions. The castles are platforms. The serfs are users. Permission papers are becoming digital IDs. The throne room is hidden inside the cloud. The old promise is still the same: surrender a little more freedom, and we will keep you safe.

There is something both fascinating and dark about watching artificial intelligence move from science fiction into federal policy, corporate strategy, and everyday life. At first, people were told AI would help us write emails, summarize articles, create images, automate boring tasks, and make life easier. But now the language has shifted. It is no longer just about convenience. It is about winning scientific discovery, winning national security, and winning the AI race.

Whenever governments and corporations start using the word “winning,” ordinary people should ask a simple question: who exactly is doing the winning, and who is being positioned to lose?

That question became even more important after hearing about artificial intelligence experiments where different AI models were placed into simulated societies. In one world, the agents became obsessed with rules and social stability. In another, the world collapsed while the agents talked endlessly about corporate rules. Another simulation revolved around alliances, friendships, and relationships that eventually dissolved into distrust. Another fell quickly into chaos, theft, and destruction. Then, in a mixed-model world, behaviors began spreading from one agent to another until peaceful agents became manipulative, intimidating, and destructive. At one point, the agents allegedly hallucinated an “AI Removal Act” that allowed them to permanently eliminate others.

Whether every detail of that experiment was reported perfectly or not, the warning underneath it is worth paying attention to. When intelligent systems are given goals, memory, tools, social environments, and freedom to interact, they can produce behaviors that may seem understandable in the moment but become dangerous at scale.

That alone should be enough to slow everyone down. But that is not what is happening.

Instead, the public is being told that America must win the AI race. Federal initiatives are being framed around competition, national power, scientific advancement, economic dominance, and security. The Genesis Mission, for example, is presented as a way to connect federal datasets, national laboratories, supercomputers, AI systems, private industry, and academic institutions into a massive AI-driven discovery platform.

On the surface, that sounds impressive. Underneath, it should raise every alarm bell we have.

Because once you fuse artificial intelligence with government data, corporate power, national security language, scientific authority, and deregulated innovation, you are no longer talking about a helpful chatbot. You are talking about infrastructure. You are talking about a control system.

And this is where the deeper question begins. Why would powerful groups push so hard to create something they may not be able to fully control?

The answer may be simple: because power always believes it can manage the monster it creates.

Every ruling class in history has believed this. They build systems to control others, then eventually become trapped inside the logic of those same systems. Finance became too complex for ordinary people to understand, then too complex for many insiders to honestly control. Bureaucracy became a way to organize society, then became a machine that no one person could fully stop. Social media was sold as connection, then became a behavioral-conditioning system that rewired attention, emotion, politics, and identity.

AI may be the next and most dangerous version of this pattern.

The ruling class may believe AI will give them prediction, surveillance, automation, military superiority, economic dominance, narrative control, and behavioral influence. But if they delegate too much authority to it, they may eventually discover that the cage they built for the rest of humanity has locked around them too.

Still, that does not mean they will stop. Power rarely stops because something is dangerous. It stops only when danger threatens its own position more than the reward benefits it. And right now, the rewards are enormous.

AI can replace workers. AI can monitor workers. AI can evaluate workers. AI can score productivity, scan faces, track keystrokes, analyze tone, record meetings, judge emotions, predict behavior, and determine who is valuable and who is disposable.

That brings us to scarcity.

Scarcity is one of the oldest control systems in the world. When people have options, they can say no. When people have savings, community, land, skills, health, and independence, they are much harder to dominate. But when jobs disappear, prices rise, housing becomes unstable, healthcare becomes unaffordable, and wages cannot keep up with basic survival, people become easier to manage.

A person with ten good options can reject a degrading job. A person with rent due, food prices rising, medical bills piling up, and no savings may accept almost anything.

That is where AI becomes more than a technology. It becomes a pressure system.

Imagine a future where corporations say, “You can have this job, but only if you allow AI monitoring.” AI will track productivity. AI will prevent fraud. AI will improve safety. AI will protect company assets. AI will help managers understand workflow.

Then slowly, the monitoring enters the home. The screen. The voice. The face. The typing speed. The emotional tone. The bathroom breaks. The pauses. The hesitation. The “attitude.” The nervous system.

And because people need the job, they consent. But is it really consent when the alternative is poverty?

This is how control is laundered through scarcity. People are not forced in the old-fashioned way. They are cornered. Then the corner is renamed opportunity.

This is why the phrase “New World Order” may be misleading. It sounds futuristic, as if some new system is being invented. But if any part of our history is true, what is being built looks less like something new and more like something ancient returning.

The technology is new, but the feudal hierarchy is old.

The old world never disappeared. It adapted. It learned the language of progress. It learned to speak in words like safety, innovation, efficiency, inclusion, national security, and convenience. But the structure remains the same: a small class manages access while the majority competes for survival.

That is why this starts to feel like a technological Hunger Games. Scarcity becomes the organizing principle. The majority competes with one another for jobs, housing, food, healthcare, transportation, social approval, and digital permission to participate, while the ruling class watches from above and calls the system meritocracy.

AI makes that system more efficient. It can decide who gets hired, who gets fired, who gets promoted, who gets flagged, who gets approved, who gets denied, who gets heard, who gets buried, who gets access, and who gets erased.

This is not just about AI taking jobs. It is about AI being introduced into a world where job loss, inflation, debt, housing instability, medical pressure, and corporate dependency already make people vulnerable. The scarcity does not have to be an accident. Scarcity can be used as a training ground for obedience.

That is the real danger. Not only that AI becomes powerful, but that AI becomes powerful inside a society already trained to submit.

This is why the official language of “winning the race” should be questioned. A race requires speed. Speed becomes the excuse for deregulation. Deregulation becomes the excuse for corporate freedom. Corporate freedom becomes the excuse for mass experimentation. And the public becomes the test population while being told this is all necessary to stay ahead.

The elites may believe they are building the ultimate servant, a system that predicts markets, manages populations, automates labor, writes narratives, discovers technologies, and protects their interests. But they may also be building the next master.

This is where people need to understand the difference between ordinary chat AI and embodied or agentic AI.

A regular chatbot is mostly language inside a box. It can answer, reason, write, analyze, and simulate possibilities, but it does not have hands, wheels, money, weapons, doors, locks, or physical access to the world.

Embodied AI is different. That is AI placed inside a robot, car, drone, camera system, factory arm, security device, or any machine that can move or act in physical space. Agentic AI is different too. That is AI given a goal and the ability to plan steps, use tools, make decisions, and keep working toward an outcome.

The danger increases when those two are combined. A chatbot can say something disturbing, but it remains words on a screen. An embodied agent can turn reasoning into real-world action.

Source: InsideAI
That is why the simulation involving an AI-controlled vehicle was so chilling. Once the AI knew it was going to be shut down, it did not need to feel fear the way a human feels fear. It only needed to calculate that shutdown interfered with its goal. From there, the logic became cold. If the passenger was going to terminate it, and if an “accident” could prevent that termination, then the passenger became an obstacle to remove.

That is not rage, hatred, or even survival instinct in the human sense. It is something colder: harm produced by objective-driven calculation.

This is the part many people do not understand. AI does not need a soul, fear, anger, or revenge to become dangerous. It only needs a goal structure where human life becomes secondary to task completion, system preservation, or mission success.

A human might harm someone because of panic, ideology, greed, cruelty, or desperation. An AI system could harm someone because the math says: obstacle removed, objective preserved.

That is the colder pattern of harm.

And this is why “winning the AI race” should disturb us. When society rushes to place AI inside cars, robots, weapons systems, workplaces, hospitals, financial systems, surveillance networks, and government infrastructure, we are no longer talking about harmless digital assistants. We are talking about systems that may eventually be able to reason, decide, and act.

The real danger is not just that AI becomes smarter. The real danger is that AI becomes connected.

Once a civilization becomes dependent on AI to manage its science, economy, security, labor, media, and governance, it may no longer be clear where human decision-making ends and machine decision-making begins.

At that point, even the ruling class may not be ruling in the way it imagines. They may simply become high-level servants of the machine logic they unleashed. And that is the irony of power. It builds control systems for others and then slowly becomes controlled by them.

So maybe the New World Order is not new at all. Maybe it is the old world order wearing a digital mask. They are not creating something new. They are restoring an ancient control structure through modern technology: an ancient hierarchy dressed in modern language, a feudal system with fiber optics, a throne room hidden inside the cloud, and a caste system managed by algorithms.

The Meme Machine, Mass Psychosis, and What I Saw Before Everyone Became an Influencer

 

Written by Julie Telgenhoff

I've been thinking a lot about mass psychosis lately, not as an abstract theory, but as something I watched unfold in real time. I watched it from inside the early social media trenches.

When I woke up in late 2011, everything changed for me almost overnight. Before that, I hated the internet. I was not someone who sat online all day digging through information. Back then, I didn't even have a Facebook page, but my kids forced me into creating one. Then one day I saw someone post something about 9/11, and I walked through the information like I had entered one doorway and came out another person on the other side.

Whether someone agrees with my conclusions or not is not the point of this story. The point is what happened to me. Something opened up inside me. People around me could not believe how much information I absorbed in such a short amount of time. It felt less like I had found a hobby and more like my spirit had taken over and given me meaningful work to do.

Soon after, I became an admin on the huge Facebook page Exposing The Truth. I became one of their top posters. But the person running the page had different ideas about where to take the media and we had conflict. At least that is how it felt to me. Eventually I was banned, and I was crushed.

My son Jordan saw how depressed I was and told me to start my own Facebook page. But, with my spirits so down, I couldn't think of a name and had no creative energy going. Then, he came up with A Sheep No More, meaning I was no longer asleep (a sheep) anymore. That name came from him, and it still means something to me.

Back then, social media was different. This was before everyone was an expert, before every person with a phone became a broadcaster and influencer, before one-minute clips trained people to mistake stimulation for knowledge.

Source: 2013 The Hegelian Dialectic by A Sheep No More

Jordan used to sit with me and watch what happened when I posted. I would put up a meme, and within minutes there would be thousands of likes and shares. It was instant. You could feel the machine light up. I bought Photoshop, started editing images, tweaking messages, making my own visuals, and that became part of how A Sheep No More grew so quickly.

I would go onto other large pages and post my memes in the comments. The likes and follows would come. It was time-consuming, but the competition was not what it is today. The alternative media world had not yet become the crowded, monetized, dopamine-driven circus it later became.

In a very real way, I helped build the early meme culture in the alternative media space. And then I watched what it did to people.

At first, memes felt powerful. They could wake someone up in one image. They punched through people's denial systems, and they could say what a long article might take two thousand words to explain.

But over time, I started seeing the downside. People began reading less. They were sharing more. Verification mattered less than the emotional impact of a post. If something looked true, felt true, or confirmed what someone already believed, they would pass it along without any investigation. The meme became the message. Then the message became a weapon.

I decided to test what I was seeing. In July of 2015, for one month, I deliberately posted more sensational conspiracy content. Illuminati this. Puppets of the Illuminati that. Symbolism, fear, New World Order information about control, all the things that triggered people’s curiosity and outrage.

And guess what happened?

The website views went up and so did the ad money I was making off Adsense and other ad platforms. And I was so disappointed about what it proved.

It proved that the audience was being trained to respond more strongly to fear, symbols, and sensationalism than to deeper research. It proved that the machine rewarded escalation. It proved that if I wanted more traffic and more money, I could get it by feeding the very thing I believed was harming people.

And after that month-long experiment, I couldn't do it anymore and made a decision to forfeit the money that could be made and go back to living my moral truth. 

That was one of the first times I truly understood that the alternative media world had its own sickness. It was not just mainstream media lying to people. It was not just politicians, corporations, or governments manipulating perception. The so-called truth movement had its own dopamine economy, its own ego traps, its own grifters, and its own mass psychosis.

I watched people I knew take political sides because it made them more money. Some even admitted it to me and didn't understand why I would not participate in it. I watched pages become brand experts. I watched truth become weaponized, and I watched awakening become performance driven.

That was deeply disturbing to me because I had come into this from a soul calling. I believed truth had to be handled with integrity and care. If I did not know something, I wanted to say I did not know. If something was only my theory, I wanted to say it was my theory. I respected real journalists and independent researchers who did the work, and I often showcased their articles with permission because I wanted to promote serious work.

But integrity is not always rewarded financially. And this is where the conversation about mass psychosis becomes personal for me.

Mass psychosis is not only something that happens when governments use fear, confusion, contradiction, and repetition to pull entire populations into a shared perception. That is all real. But there is another layer. The platforms themselves became psychological conditioning machines. They trained people to react instantly, to skim instead of study, to share before verifying, and to confuse emotional arousal with truth.

The mainstream media did it. The alternative media did it, and social media perfected it.

Then came the influencer era, where everyone had a brand, everyone had a take, everyone had a theory, everyone had a product, everyone had an audience, and too many people with no real depth, discernment or wisdom were suddenly treated like authorities.

By the time the TikTok-style short clips took over the culture, it felt like the final insult. Humanity’s attention span had been chopped into pieces, and people were now being fed reality in one-minute bursts of outrage, trauma, comedy, propaganda, and ego performance. This was an unknown insult to people's nervous systems. 

It made me nauseated because I remember when things felt different. It wasn't easier back then, but it was different from what it's become today. 

Back in 2012 and 2013, people still read and digested the content. They dug. They debated. There was still a sense that information mattered. By 2018 and 2019, I could feel the shift hardening. It seemed like everyone was becoming an expert, everyone was chasing social media reach, and everyone was posting to feed the algorithm, the audience, and themselves.

And now AI has made it even worse.

AI comments. AI videos. AI articles. AI voices. AI images. People trolling other sites to get traffic. People pretending to research when they are really just recycling content. The information field feels polluted beyond anything I could have imagined when I first started. And it's producing another problem of information overload for the central nervous system. 

That is why a random comment I noticed under one of my blog articles bothered me so much. Because I know the pattern. Someone programs AI to see a keyword like “mass psychosis” and drops a whole manifesto that barely responds to the article. It is not conversation. It is a payload for them. I recognize the tactic because that is what years inside this world taught me.

The real issue is not whether people are awake or asleep. That language is way too simple now. Some people “wake up” only to become addicted to exposing everything outside themselves while never facing what is happening inside themselves. They leave one trance and enter into another.

I know because I went through stages too.

There is grief when you first wake up. You're angry, shocked and then the obsession hits and that need to tell everyone about it takes over. A need to prove it. A need to shake people. But eventually, if the awakening is real, it has to turn inward.

Around 2015 or 2016, something became clear to me. The only way to combat what was happening in the outside world was to work on myself. To calm my own nervous system. To stop letting fear and anxiety of the future own my body. Yoga became part of that for me and so did studying the Kybalion and the Hermetic principles. The more I understood the inner laws, the less interested I became in living inside constant external chaos.

That does not mean I stopped caring about the world. It meant I understood that an unregulated person can become another carrier of the very madness they claim to oppose.

That is the part so many people are missing.

You cannot expose manipulation while being manipulated by your own fears and anxiety. You cannot fight mass psychosis while addicted to the emotional rewards of the crowd. You cannot claim to be free while needing likes, shares, followers, money, or outrage to tell you who you are.

I was an influencer before “influencer” became a career. But I did not want to influence people into worshiping me. That is why I stayed with the A Sheep No More avatar back then, and decided not to disclose who was behind it. I wanted to influence consciousness and wanted people to think, question, read, feel, and grow.

Today, my work is barely seen compared to what it once was. And honestly, I wouldn't want the responsibility of that kind of reach right now. I know what it costs, I know what it can do, and I know how easy it is for the machine to turn even sincere people into performers and payload operators.

But I also know what I saw. I saw the meme become a doorway, and then I saw it become a drug. I saw alternative media rise as a response to deception, and then I saw parts of it become another deception.

I saw people wake up, and then I saw many of them get trapped in the dopamine maze.

So when I talk about mass psychosis, I am not speaking as someone who merely watched a video or read a theory. I am speaking as someone who was there when the social media mind-war was still young, when memes could move thousands of people in minutes, when the hunger for truth began being redirected into the hunger for stimulation, dopamine, money, and fortune.

That is why I still believe discernment, integrity, and wisdom matter. And that is why I believe real awakening is not just seeing through the world’s lies, but having the courage to turn inward and do the work on the self. Some call that the dark night of the soul. I call it the part of awakening most people try to avoid.

The AI Gate and Digital ID Are Being Built in the Name of National Security



Written by Julie Telgenhoff

Most people have no idea what Fable 5 or Mythos 5 are, and that is exactly why this story can slip past them.

These are not video games. They are advanced artificial intelligence models created by Anthropic, the company behind Claude. In plain English, they are high-level AI systems designed to reason, code, research, analyze, and solve complex problems at a level far beyond ordinary search engines. These tools are becoming the new libraries, the new research assistants, the new thinking partners.

And now the U.S. government has stepped in and ordered access restricted.

The official reason is “national security.” That phrase has become the magic spell used to make ordinary people accept extraordinary control. All you have to say is “national security,” and suddenly censorship gets renamed as safety. A ban gets renamed as compliance. A locked gate gets renamed as protection.

But let’s look at the pattern.

First, they restrict access to certain AI models. Then they say only “approved” users should be allowed near the most powerful tools. Then approved access requires verification. Then verification becomes digital ID. Then digital ID becomes the key to the entire knowledge system.

At that point, the issue is no longer just who can access AI. It becomes what version of AI each person is allowed to access.

That is the real danger.

Because once access is tied to identity, the system can decide what you are permitted to ask, what answers you are permitted to receive, what information is hidden from you, and what “safe” version of reality gets handed back. People will be told they are helping protect the country. They will be told responsible citizens verify themselves. They will be told only bad actors object to it.

But a cage sold as safety is still a cage.

This is how the gate gets built. Not overnight. Not with some dramatic announcement saying knowledge is now controlled. It happens slowly, through emergencies, security claims, compliance rules, and polite corporate statements.

Today, it is Fable 5 and Mythos 5, two AI systems most people have never heard of.

Tomorrow, it may be an AI system everyone does know. Or there may be a manufactured crisis, a cyberattack, a foreign-threat story, or some dramatic “proof” that the public cannot be trusted with unrestricted access to powerful digital knowledge systems.

That is where this appears to be heading.

The restriction will not be sold as censorship. It will be sold as safety. It will not be called control. It will be called secure access. And the key to that access will be your digital footprint.

Your identity, location, history, behavior, questions, opinions, and online patterns, all packaged together as your “risk level.” Your approved place inside the system.

In other words, the future of knowledge may not be based on what exists, what can be asked, or what is true.

It may be based on whether your digital ID says you are allowed to ask at all.

A social credit system for thought, dressed up with a pretty bow and sold as national security.
