The phrase “You’ll own nothing and be happy” only applies to subscriptions and rentals (so material things to speak via the digital market) but what would happen if we ourselves don’t even own our right to live (body and mind) in which they can control what organs should remain functional or straight up kill you by shutting down your body.
As in, every part that defines YOU is “rented” (brain, heart, eyes, hands, feet, genes, etc). Might as well be considered a cyborg or bot than a person, as in every baby is born as artificial than human (equivalent to having a barcode for eternity as a birthmark surveilling your biomedical data from pulse, brain activity, motor functions, etc).
Well, they don’t have that power yet since people today are born random as human beings unless they injected chemicals into the fetus altering what the baby will look like upon birth (but it won’t convert humans into cyborgs). Existing humans today are not cyborgs, so it’ll be hard to turn internal organs into a subscription.
The brain is still yours (for now) unless they can remotely erase your memories (that requires a chip implant being inserted into someone’s brain for full control) and controlling someone’s heart will need a pacemaker or a full artificial heart. Both involve notifying the subject rather than convertly surveilling their bodily functions without surgery.
When do you reckon a right truly exists?
When it’s been enshrined into law? I reckon it would take just as much (or little) effort to get it back out.
Until its been litigated and the State loses miserably and has to redo their criminal system so its not a crime that can be pursued or if theres some fucked up civil bounty system like that popped up in the US it needs to bankrupt whoever is involved and preferably sanction them irreparably in some way that lays down the law, whatever right or entitlement doesnt mean shit.
These things need to be made independant, beyond arms reach, and there needs to be civil liabillity for anyone (including the leaders and elite) that is sufficiently devastating that they know to stop touching the hot stove. The result on their victims is devastsring if they are successful so the impact needs to devastate them and their continued abillity to fuck around
