Description

Coronavirus has hacked our bodily life and we are all running for safety.   It is possible to not just possible to hack our bodies but also our mind and free will.  New development in AI and the growing surveillance capitalism has made it possible to hack into our minds and will. New technologies like blockchain can save our mind and freedom of will. But there is a cost that we have to pay to save it. It is a loss of privacy.  The loss of privacy then is not seen as a loss as it becomes raw material that can be sold as passive work.  Blockchain backed economy is set to transform the way we trust but it will commoditize our privacy and over its benefits to us.  As things our today, our privacy already stands commoditized but its economic benefits are monopolized by Big data analytics
