The Canadian government has instituted an insidious behavior modification experiment via an app on citizens’ cell phones. As investigative journalist James Corbett observes:
Yes, the Canadian government has rolled out an app that gives you points for eating well and exercising and taking quizzes about the flu shot and other healthy activities! And everyone seems totally fine with this. Welcome to the future, everyone, because the totalitarian states of tomorrow will be more carrot then stick, and we will all be pigeons in a virtual Skinner box. What could go wrong?
Can it happen here? For more details on this frightening development see this Corbett essay.
This totalitarian action is running parallel with the transition to a cashless society with all financial transactions via a credit/debit card or “electronic purse” monitored by the state through biometric identification using such technologies as fingerprints, hand geometry and retina scanning.
