Cognitive sovereignty
By Claudia Befu

Your data shouldn’t be
someone else’s digital property.
Your work shouldn’t be
someone else’s digital property.
Your art shouldn’t be
someone else’s digital property.
Your life should not be
mined for content.
37.
Your data is an extension
of your personhood.
You should own your digital self,
just as you own your physical self.
38.
We must protect
our cognitive ecology
from the pollution
of algorithmic binary thinking.
39.
Don’t let the algorithm
shape your mind.
Cognitive sovereignty
is the hard currency
of the future.
The human algorithm shapes reality,
but reality is not shaped
by Homo sapiens alone.
Don’t let your mind lose touch
with the objective world.
40.
Physical sovereignty
will not survive without
digital sovereignty.
41.
You are the smallest unit of resistance:
a unique worldview that encapsulates
the entire universe.
A clear mind can poke a hole
in the fabric of our collective reality
and glimpse at possible futures.
42.
While tech moguls continue
pouring their fortunes into artificial intelligence,
we the people should go all-in
on developing our brains.
Organic data centers are the future.
