Meet Alison McDowell
Meet Alison McDowell, a mom, activist, researcher, writer, and educator who has archived her extensive research on the Fourth Industrial Revolution Economy set-up by the World Economic Forum elite.
From her blog:
“Consider a future of criminalized poverty where the threat of family separation is forever held over people’s heads to get them to comply to draconian edicts. The mass impoverishment being created by the global response to Covid is straight up market-shaping for a Fourth Industrial Revolution economy that will run on social impact schemes. This is biocapitalism, coyly branded by the Davos crowd as stake-holder capitalism. The sources of data extraction fueling it will be education, healthcare, and housing services. Human behavior, our relationships to one another and to the earth, will be calibrated against United Nation’s Sustainability Goal metrics ensuring we’re “good” obedient citizens, the scope of our lives limited to the generation of harvestable “transparent” data that will profit sociopathic investors.”

Definition of Terms:
Technocracy – highly-regulated form of governance in which industrial engineering experts apply the scientific method and energy expenditure analysis to individual and social activities
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – mechanism through which the World Economic Forum intends to implement a program of global technocracy combined with predatory social impact investing
Data – Information, often stored on a computer, used to analyze and plan
Biometric Data – unique human elements that identify us individually to devices and systems
Digital ID – unique identifier that aggregates all of a person’s data as a permanent record
Data-Mining – new insights and patterns derived from analysis of large data sets
Cloud Computing – use of remote, internet-based servers to store and access information
5G – high frequency cellular network conceived of in 2008 and first implemented in South Korea in 2019. It relies on intrusive small cell infrastructure to operate the Internet of Things.
6G – planned infrastructure to advance cyber-physical fusion, digital twins, holograms, and communication between artificial intelligence agents and robots
Interoperability – structured systems that allow free flow of data
Algorithm – rules to achieve a desired outcome, fixed decision trees, if x then y
Artificial Intelligence (AI) – software that can covertly learn and predict behavior, often without consent
Machine Learning – computers figuring out how to carry out tasks they were not explicitly programmed with training data – structured, unstructured, and reinforcement techniques.
Behavioral Economics – psychology behind economic decision-making
Gamification – design strategies that make desired behaviors seem “fun”
Nudge – design features encouraging a preferred choice
Blockchain – database using decentralized nodes, un-erasable, encrypted
Crypto-Currency – digital value created and stored on blockchain
Smart Contracts – self-executing digital agreements (if x condition is met then y happens) that are activated by sensor data and then permanently authenticated and recorded on blockchain
Smart Cities – environments that collect data in order to modify behavior
Charter Cities – set zones governed by interests outside the elected government
Biometric Data – unique human elements identifying us to devices / systems
Transhumanism – humans evolving beyond physical bodies to merge with computing systems via ingestibles, injections, and implants.
Cyborg – mechanical element(s) added to an organic body to enhance function
Human Piezoelectric Energy Harvest – use of wearable and nano-technology to capture mechanical energy from life processes (blood flow, blinking, walking, swallowing, heart beat)
Internet of Things (IoT) – sensor networks that collect and transmit data
Internet of Bodies (IoB) – human life processes tracked by sensor networks
Digital Twin – virtual replicas connected by sensors to the people, environments, or systems they represent used for real time simulation modeling
Wearable Technology – materials worn on or close to the skin that transmit vital signs, receive and process ambient data, and provide biofeedback.
Haptic –relating to touch and manipulation of objects, can involve mechanical controllers
Geo-Location – Movement patterns of a person or device monitored and predicted using aggregated Internet data
Geo-Fencing – digitally established boundaries within which certain actions are automatically triggered in the presence of a mobile device or sensor
Behavioral Economics – psychology behind economic decision-making
Nudge – design features encouraging a preferred choice
Augmented Reality – digital information overlay on the real world – Pokémon-Go
Virtual Reality – Immersive digital experience that uses a head set and haptic controllers to generate two-way data capture with nudges
Social Impact Investing – a virtue-washing program that entails gambling on and managing impoverished people and degraded natural systems
Human Capital Bonds – financial instruments generating profit for investors using privatized social welfare systems to compel recipients to perform “life” on data-generating pathways of “self-improvement.” Bonds can be securitized, creating opportunities for financiers to bet for OR against compliance of the poor.
Pathway – tasks assigned to individuals / groups that generate the personally identifiable information needed to fuel human capital bond markets
Evidence-Based – social welfare interventions in which “success” is “proven” when a recipient’s data is steered towards an outcome that benefits investors
Nano-Technology – field of manipulating matter at one billionth of a meter, which can unlock unusual magnetic, chemical, and biological properties.
