Reject Chip Implants Socially

New technology has enabled the implantation of location and data transmission electronic technology in very small size within an animal or human being. Obviously such technological progress as has made very powerful and small computer logic units possible presents innumerable good and bad potentials for use. Receiving a data transmission or tracking chip is a real possibility today--so this is a consideration of a few of the political and social implications of receiving such a chip-insert.


The fundamental human liberty from adverse political control of others is the irreducibly vital existential criterion. In God we trust rather than our fellow man is the basic parameter. We may learn from spiritual sources of right intersocial conduct. Our fellow citizen and illegal alien resident may not be on the same ethics and moral pages as yourself. The legal system has developed to standardize and make uniform certain conduct boundaries that cannot be supported well enough through an honor system of ethics. The chip insert is a basic violation of human individual freedom from the control of others. Such a primary violation of personal being transcends the paradigm in which all other human moral and legal systems of equal justice have been based upon. Although there are good as well as bad possibilities for negating the basic boundary of human individual physical integrity by others, the potentials of the bad far outweigh the potentials for good for either an individual or for social cohesion.


With the ability of others to track the location of an individual globally throughout life a deterministic social structure is created that nullifies a vast range of potential free relationships that are undetermined. It permits collective actions of an unprecedented scale to negate individual liberty. The quantification of freedom for individuals may be reduced as the quantification of collective actions increase. If corporations and collectives might be treated as individuals by the law, the number of individuals is reduced phenomenally within such criteria as individuals give up their individual freedom from electronic tracking to join collective or corporate individual organizations. 


I believe that social interest lies in the area of individual development and individual rights increases while collective actions that reduce human freedom are fundamentally inimical to human existence as sentient beings. The preservation of human freedom from chip inserts and impersonal tracking may be a narrow path through complex technical issues, yet it is a path through a minefield of temptations that phenomenally have increased in density through the profusion of technical products invented in recent decades. Virtually any good that could be brought to individuals through chip planting could be accomplished equally well through non-invasive means. 


Though society is quite crowded today, it is an error to assume that the given phenomenal socio-economic circumstances are either the best of all possible worlds or sufficient reason to jettison the fundamental concern with safeguarded individual liberty from collective, impersonal surveillance, violation of personal privacy and prioritization in the legal structure of our prevailing political philosophy.
