"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age." - Cypherpunk Manifesto, 1993.

They thought the fight was outside. Wrong.
The final battleground is inside your skull. BCI isn't sci-fi anymore, it's the ultimate surveillance & control vector.

Time to wake up. Ch2: Cognitive Sovereignty Manifesto. 👇

eth enjoyer working on think2earn and incentives 

Building useful AND principled tech, per @vitalik.eth, isn't a nice-to-have when we're talking about the mind. It's the ONLY acceptable path.

Anything less – any closed BCI, any opaque data protocol – is building the architecture of digital tyranny. Full stop.

Axiom 1: YOUR MIND, YOUR PROPERTY.

Not debatable. Cognitive data = inherent personal territory. Centralized systems offering "access" are just digital landlords asking permission to squat in your brain. 

Sovereignty is the only basis for negotiation.

Axiom 2: OPEN, HARDENED, PRIVATE INFRA.
You can't secure sovereign territory with rented fences.

➡️ Radical Open Hardware: No black boxes. What you put on your head ought to be open-spec by default. Build it yourself. Audit it. Fork it. 
➡️ Immutable Protocols: Crypto guarantees, not corporate promises. Privacy via FL/HE isn't a feature, it's ARMOR against data extraction.

Axiom 3: USER-DIRECTED VALUE. NO MORE CRUMBS.

Big Tech got rich off your data. Don't let it happen to your thoughts. Our infra will let YOU control the flow, YOU set the terms, YOU capture the value from your cognitive output – whether for research, AI training, or apps yet unimagined. It's your mind's dividend.

Axiom 4: AI ALIGNMENT STARTS HERE.

Feeding AI centrally-hoarded cognitive data is how we get Skynet with an MA in manipulation. Trustworthy AI requires trustworthy, user-controlled data. think2earn provides the ethical rails. Don't train the machine that enslaves you.

Axiom 5: ECOSYSTEM AS REBELLION.

Cognitive freedom won't be built by monopolies. It requires a decentralized legion of builders, researchers, hackers, artists. 
think2earn is an open protocol & hardware foundation. The "Computer," not the "Casino." Build the future with us, not for them.

The cognitive enclosure is real. The path to sovereignty demands action. Complacency = complicity.

think2earn will provide the tools. The manifesto provides the why. The future of your mind is on the line.

Read it. Understand it. Pick a side. The fight is here.

Web2 strip-mined your clicks for ad revenue. Pathetic.
Web3 & AI giants now eye the real prize: your raw cognitive stream. Focus, emotion, attention – ready to be packaged, sold, maybe even weaponized. 

Cognitive enclosure isn't a future risk, it's the active agenda.
