Opening Insights: The Blend of Infotech and Biotech
Additionally, there is the unknown human impact of the coming blend of infotech and biotech, which converts thought and emotion into data transmission. This goes far beyond today’s ability to control our decisions by controlling the information and choice we are exposed to (i.e., Amazon, Google algorithms).
"It's data about what's happening inside my body. What we have seen so far, it's corporations and governments collecting data about where we go, who we meet, what movies we watch. The next phase is surveillance going under our skin," Yuval Noah Harari warns.
"Netflix tells us what to watch and Amazon tells us what to buy. Eventually within 10 or 20 or 30 years such algorithms could also tell you what to study at college and where to work and whom to marry and even whom to vote for," says Harari.

Possibilities for Consideration: What Was Not Said
This brings a new level of unknown silent control – social engineering at its worst.
We are being stripped of our free will and our gift of reason.
So, we pose to you our fellow humanitarians,
when you listened
did you hear what is not said?
If this degree of social engineering befalls the powers at large will dictate the very nature of civilization on planet earth.
Co-Lab™ Institutes and Visionaries together have a responsibility to the communities they represent and serve
– to uphold ethical principles and ensure that the technology and methodologies
will not be misused.
Without freedom there is no truth,
without truth we cannot make good decisions.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Being willing is not enough; we must do.
