Fysical is a location data marketplace protocol on the blockchain. One of their Latest findings: Trump had 22% more onlookers than Kim during Singapore meeting. Can you imagine the potential in this kind of system?

Yes I do feel that we are on the cusp of a socialized mind control breakthrough within the next 50 years, it will be game changing and we probably won't even know the full effect until it's too late. It will probably be designed by an advanced AI and we won't fully understand it or even know where to look, part of the reason it will be successful.

Just look at how Russia was/is able to meddle into elections in other countries through something simple like Facebook and Twitter. They can basically sew chaos and help to change outcomes by knowing who to advertise to and what social fires to stoke in any individual on either side, all because Facebook has an algorithm of what you browse, who you like, and what you comment on, etc,. The next social networks will be even more intrusive and help to make more specific algorithms, and so on and so on. The data that you hand over helps to create psychological profiles of entire societies, typical patters, triggers, publicized and even maybe privatized thoughts, and everything you do can be linked to a digital record of something related or unrelated you were doing online or through a device. For example, the time of month when your bills are due they might know that you are more stressed out and post negative things, verses when you just got paid. That could effect the type of advertising or types of messages you see on your feeds. Once they know someone's triggers they are able to add influence for their particular message. This field will open up (if it hasn't already) an entire new way to study group mind control for the sake of advertising, and soon enough other authoritative powers will want in on it. The type of data gathered will be studied and analyzed in ways that normal people won't even be able to comprehend, so they most likely won't believe it.

I don't think there is any stopping the advancement, the cat is out of the bag and Facebook likes and convenience are the vehicles into group psychological control. Maybe blockchain could help to curb it but it would also most definitely help to advance it. As long as people feel privacy and not allowing corporations or authority to control public group-think is more important than the convenience of being able to link all your contacts, and emails, and messages, and purchases, etc., on the same app or device. Honestly that is asking a lot right now so my optimism is less than hopeful. Anyways I'm glad you took the time to read.
