What we’re witnessing isn’t just technological innovation – it’s what I’ve come to see as biometric colonization, where bodily data is extracted and controlled in ways that echo the resource extraction of colonial empires. This isn’t just about privacy or data security – though those concerns are serious enough. This is about the fundamental sovereignty of your own biology. When your neurons can be monitored in real time, when your brain activity can be networked to the cloud, when your DNA is stored in corporate databases that can be sold or hacked, who truly owns the essence of your existence? Your DNA isn’t just information – it’s you: your genetic identity, your health predispositions, characteristics tied to your family lineage. You can’t change it like a password or cancel it like a credit card. It’s permanent, revealing secrets about you that you might not even know yourself.
