Look around you! Is there a single meaningful effective action that you can do without the control of the state?
Think about it! Can you shop online anonymously? Can you buy anything from stores without any trace? Can you send a parcel without trace? Can you travel anonymously and without any trace?
No. The answer to all of these is a big No. The big brother is watching you literally everywhere!
Why is that? My name, my mobile phone, my ID card, all of these are about my; me.
These are based on your identity. So, the state has full knowledge of our identities and by that it can control everything else. We are all born slaves of the state! From the moment of birth that a person is given a name, a national ID, etc. all of these rely on biometrics for verification.
From the moment of birth that the state takes and stores your fingerprints and the associated name and ID, you are in chains!
Sad. What can be done against it? Is there slightest of chance? Luckily there still is: toeprints. They are of course different from their corresponding fingerprints.
No government on earth so far has any information of your toeprints, but everything else they have. So this is the only remaining chance for liberty. It is not even close to ideal, it is temporary in the long run, looking historically. There will come a time that all these are united into one unique characteristics and from one of them you can find the rest. Also there will be a time when robots duplicate finger/toeprints.
Yes, the future is dark, from the perspective of liberty.
Till then, is there anything that we (our generation) can do to be the seed for any resistance against that bleak totalitarianism in far future?
Unfortunately there is little left for us to allow for creation of identities perfectly independent from the state's. There is only toeprints and DNA! (Iris is being scanned and eventually will be under control) DNA is impractical for a considerable time to come, so if we want to do something in our lifetimes, toeprint is the last resort of liberty.
