6 A Planetary-Scale Threat
only know a lot about your personality, your opinions and feelings, your fears
and desires, your weaknesses and strengths, as this is the case in today’s “surveillance capitalism”. They would also be able to determine your desires, behaviors and
consumption patterns.
Some people might argue, such mind control would be absolutely justified to
improve the sustainability of this planet and improve your health, which would be
controlled by an industrial-medical complex. Furthermore, police could stop crimes
before they happen. You might not even be able to think about a crime. Your thinking
would be immediately “corrected”—which brings us back to “thought crimes” and
the “Karma Police” program of the British secret service GCHQ.
You think, this is all phantasy, and it will never happen? Well, according to IBM,
human brain indexing will soon consume several billion Petabytes—a data volume
so big that it is beyond the imagination of most people. Due to the new business
model of brain mapping, the time period over which the amount of data on Earth
doubles would soon drop from 12 months to 12 hours.
62 In other words, in half a day,
humanity would produce as much data as in the entire history of humanity before.

elaborates the plans further:
“As population health management gathers momentum, it has become increasingly clear that behavioral health care must be integrated with medical
care…
Starting with a “data lake”
To apply cognitive computing to integrated care, the cognitive system must
be given multi-sourced data that has been aggregated and normalized so that
it can be analyzed. A “data lake”—an advanced type of data warehouse—is
capable of ingesting clinical and claims data and mapping it to a normative
data model…
A new, unified data model
… The model has predefined structures that include behavioral health. Also
included in the model are data on a person’s medical, criminal justice, and
socioeconomic histories. The unified data model additionally covers substance
abuse and social determinants of health.
