Let’s push pause and think about what blockchainers propose:

By throwing out terms like “censorship resistant” “immutable” and “trust”, what they really suggest is we create the mother of all surveillance systems which monitors everything from 🍊 to people.
They do this under the guise of a lot of little projects which not only tell you where your food came but who picked it.

And we know everything about that person because they have an immutable ID, and we know where they come from.
That person was entered into the blockchain at birth. Their birth records are there. Their student records are there. Who they marry. Their credit score. Who they owe money to. Their mortgage and property titles. Their children. Who they work for. It pays them.
How they spend their money. Where they spend it. That they maybe like to drink a little. Their health insurance is on blockchain and so is their genetic code and all their maladies.

In fact when they go to buy 🍊, they can see that they in fact picked that 🍊.
If you take all the proposed blockchain projects and charted them out, you just invented the perfect machine for the state or AI or other actors to watch everything you do.
