By this time of year college graduates have read a few “how to” books about finding a career. They should also read a new legislative initiative, H.R.1313, but first -
for those who don't know about genetics, there are four  bases found in a DNA molecule: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). The unique sequences of bases in a portion of a DNA molecule, called genes, carries the instructions needed to assemble proteins that forms all life. That’s as scientific as this blog post gets.
 
In March of this year Rep. Virginia Foxx, [R-NC-5] sponsored  a bill titled, H.R.1313 - Preserving Employee Wellness Programs Act  - to 3 House Committees: Energy and Commerce; Ways and Means and, finally referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce.
 
The House bill supports wellness management firms acquiring genetic data from employees and their family members. It seeks to override the Americans with Disabilities Act of 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 thus far, into pushing this dangerous and potentially discriminatory bill forward.
 
We have to ask hiring executives as well as health managers what they hope to do with approximately 25,000 genes per individual. The answer is clear isn’t it? Eliminate employee diversity under the guise of a health admin firm.
 
The human genome is DNA, the most complex, miraculous life creating substance known to mankind. It’s also the final human data protected by law. So, how have we come to this? To understand how and why HR offices have been infiltrated with predictive health and psychometrics software is realizing the beginning of a transition to bio-profiling that must be stopped. One story is found in, The Only Fields That Matter.

The Prophetic Backbone - an eBook

Many tech firms introduce technologies and new products to the world with subtle ideological inferences to behaviorism, beginning with predictions and leaving us with absolutes. Companies make and sell products, disrupters challenge the status-quo and prophets proclaim the future of humankind.
At the core of human nature we create and innovate - this eBook is pro-innovation. But the operations of creating and subsequently proclaiming the future of humanity can only be explained as ideological. Anyone can proclaim the future. Eternity is already claimed.

As rich multinational tech corporations accumulate our health data and genomes, their vision is to control behaviors in an all-things-digital-healthcare network. The long-flowing river of future promises coming from outspoken futurists, scientists and tech leaders may actually cast our societies into a structured, oppressive and unethical existence. Our bodies and thoughts are slowly becoming pure information -  the prophetic data on a global AI network - understood by no one.

[excerpts] The imperative in the corporate world is to project a necessary contribution to the Sharing Economy using products stamped with a "Seal of Approval" for advancing universal data integration of personal information.

The corporate perception of genomes is presuming vastly improved human intelligence that will produce far-advanced products able to fulfill the new “ethos of inevitability”. When applying neuroscience to justify genetic quality in DNA data correlating to entrepreneurial traits, wealth creators, disruptive technology inventors, emotional intelligence of leaders and a whole host of progressive cultural definitions - business is instilling a biological correlation to otherwise learned employee skills and experience.

Human Bio-Data is becoming the new technology backbone – literally, the human nervous system that will be analyzed for driving research and development leading to profitable neural-sensory products. The brain is the most accessible, most mysterious and most inspiring organ of the body – one that all scientific disciplines are seeking to replicate in some fashion, notably, through artificial intelligence and cognitive computing.

A subtle ideology insists all new innovation and futuristic  technologies comprise the only pathway by which we can build solutions for a troubled world. This exclusivity being the presumption of tech elitists - only their technology businesses can solve our greatest human issues.

The ideological perspective is this: if we can change humans, we should change humans, we will change human behaviors.
