Aren’t we all just walking carbon wrappers? Humanity’s moat is free will, yet people throw it away for a perceived feeling of safety. If your value can be reduced to inputs to a system designed to keep you ingratiated to it - you are a slave. A slave in mind is as good as a slave in body in a knowledge economy.

It's a raw, over simplified take. But it's not entirely unfounded. It's not a modernity challenge, a political challenge, or an economic challenge. You're describing the human condition and the primal evolutionary forces at play in human organizational behavior.

50 million people globally are living their lives slavery. Also, the notion of free will is being upended by recent brain science discoveries. People are just trying to survive, let alone thrive. We are lucky to be here.

Where’d this thought come from Kazi? Mind slave in a knowledge economy is a new one on me but feels like it should the rallying cry of a group somewhere.

The eternal struggle between the collective and the individual exists within a synergistic and dependent relationship. We are constantly navigating the fitness landscape; at times, the collective is at a local maximum, while at other times, the individual is. Optimizing for survival is encoded in evolution.
