Jordan Peterson raised a serious alarm in his testimony before Congress last week, focusing on the threat of surveillance technology to individual liberty.
He began by stating, “I’m not here to talk about January 6th… I’m here to talk about the already extent and expanding collusion of government and Corporation.”
Highlighting China’s surveillance state, Peterson pointed out, “There are now 700 million CCTVs in China… attached to the most complete State apparatus of surveillance yet imagined.”
He emphasized the invasive nature of this surveillance, saying it could soon identify people by “the movement of eyes themselves.”
Peterson warned the West of following China’s lead, stating, “We’re walking step by step in the same direction,” due to the “hypothetical convenience of universal and automatic recognition of identity.”
He criticized the manipulation of public behavior, stating, “Behavioral scientists facilitate this process with their reprehensible nudging.”
He linked government actions to corporate data practices, foreseeing “a surveillance State the scope of which… George Orwell could scarcely imagine.”
“We will not even be able to see a reality outside which that has been constructed by the superstate,” said Peterson, noting that it’s “the ultimate fascist collusion between gigantic self-interested corporations and paranoid security obsessed anti-human governments.”
Closing his testimony, Peterson urged vigilance: “We’re already selling our souls to the superstate for the purposes of immediate gratification.”
He highlighted the stark choice facing society: embrace surveillance technology at the expense of freedom or protect individual liberties from the encroaching power of technology and government.
Peterson’s testimony was a clarion call for Congress to consider the profound implications of surveillance technology on freedom and democracy.
In light of Jordan Peterson’s testimony highlighting the perils of an AI-equipped surveillance state, a critical question emerges. Can Second Amendment rights effectively counter such a formidable, Orwellian superstate?
Moreover do you believe armed resistance will play a role in preserving liberty against the backdrop of rapidly advancing surveillance and control technologies?
Put simply, can good guys with guns defeat Skynet? What say you?
