C’mon folks! Double standards.  Technology firms are marketing disruption on the road toward digitalizing humanity: it’s the future, innovative and grand disruption. If you’re reactive in this world you are signing up to be featured on the History channel. Get disruptive and your company can make history.
The Trump White House is nothing short of political disruption. Policy wrecks, personnel musical chairs, tweets and counter-tweets. What a mess. In just seven months Mr. Trump’s agenda and style of leading have managed to un-nerve CNN, the Democrats and Mr. Putin. Addressing immigration, healthcare, internet neutrality and rough policing – have created a landscape of disruption of astronomical proportions. That’s politics.

But wait a minute. The autonomous car, loaded with five extremely sensitive technologies on the roof may soon take away one of America’s greatest freedoms: driving. Wellness management firms want the genome of members and family members in order to discriminate against whomever they wish. Facebook is tracking and psychologically attributing every keystroke with algorithms to assist advertisers get at your behaviors. The brain craze is no longer only science or neurology; it’s damn near corporate IT, a fundamental model for IoT products and a 21st century mail order neuro awakening. Businesses are seeking personal bio-data, not healthier people. You do know that, right? In the sharing economy we don’t need privacy; we’re all one.
 
Is this unprecedented techno-disruption to our minds and bodies A-OK but political disruption provocative and diabolical?  I know which disruption scares the hell out of me.

​From the forthcoming book: The Prophetic Backbone

If we’re going to talk about the future, then let’s consider that this unspecified flashpoint comes with past inputs known as values. Values are embedded in our human history and our beliefs framed in many institutions, faiths, constitutions and laws. On another level, values validate our individualism. With the internet’s global reach and enablement of individualism, so has exploded the output of individuals’ values. Without requiring a deep dive into how internet-of-things propagate personal data, how health monitoring systems track or how AI is evolving or even concerning patents for gene editing tools; it is about you and I thinking of things we haven’t given much attention to until recently. Normal human behaviors, the way we receive and subsequently act on information acquired throughout our lives remains the same as far as the brain is concerned.  In simplest terms, we identify actions good or bad without a whole lot of thought because our values have already shaped our perceptions. However, we’ve never in all humanity absolutely scientifically de-coded ourselves at the nuclear level (DNA) to enable re-coding, to make human structure the future IT infrastructure. From Aristotle to Einstein to Steve Jobs – digital technologists having adopted behavioral theories from three sciences: psychology, neurology and genetics - are frantically obsessing about controlling the digital future. What has changed? The problems, according to the prophets is the human who has ultimately created all the problems in the world. Humans are a source code just as any computer system has a source code; ours being DNA. They are focusing on an individual's biological environment over his external environment. The tech prophets are simply striving for genetic data. They believe both values and behavioral changes re-coded will quickly usher in their ideological vision of a structured future. Resembling aspirations of many past ideologists: to begin a change in the world you must change behaviors. Today, they have begun the collection of individual human biological data and blend it with business data so that neither type is distinguishable.

My genome is not my work history – nor present nor future.
 
After a long job search in the Great Recession I came away with a testimony; an experience that changed my life. I searched in a profoundly altering workforce.  Enter Science.  The word, “science” partly sums-up my testimony. The handshake was replaced with the mindshake. Businesses were turning to psychometric tests, 18-page background searches and inquiring about cultural affinity.  In my current job a resume was not requested. Sciences-in-software has become the norm to evaluate mental, biological, psychological being. The Harvard Business Review tweeted on 7/3, “What Matters now is not the skills you have but how you think.”
 
If it’s science-based data it must be truth. Ah, but we need more truth. Enter politics!
 
Last March, Rep. Foxx, Virginia [R-NC-5] sponsored a bill titled, H.R.1313 - Preserving Employee Wellness Programs Act . It was introduced as a bill to protect employees in businesses that offer a managed wellness program. However, it really will enable wellness management firms acquire genetic data from employees and their family members. It seeks to override the Americans with Disabilities Act, 1990 and GINA, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008.  Rep Foxx, with the support of the American Benefits Council, has deceived 22 House members into pushing this dangerous bill forward. The American Society of Human Genetics agrees, as do hundreds of research and sciences organizations: it’s just plain early-stage bio-discrimination.
 
My testimony bears out the new reality: Perhaps people lie on resumes and in interviews – but science-in-software; well, the solution. Should businesses demand my DNA? If so, game over. The gate is off its hinges for me, you and our children. We’ll have no personal data left to protect.
