Jordan Peterson leans forward in his podcast chair, his voice dropping to a grave whisper as he paints a dystopian picture of life under China's digital surveillance system. He describes how a simple act of jaywalking can trigger an entire chain of automated punishment—facial recognition cameras instantly identify the offender, the digital ID system cross-references genetic code and gait patterns, and the social credit score plummets without any judicial oversight. Peterson's eyes narrow as he explains that once the score drops below a certain threshold, the citizen loses access to basic services—vending machines, video games, train travel, even the ability to leave their designated 15-minute city. He warns that all of this is already in place in China. 🎙️😱📸
