Amazon has birthed its sim-planet. It’s called Prime.

They are ever-expanding and competing against other planetary systems to keep your escape hatches and portals closed. You are their monopoly.

Is a company a country?

• What is a country?
• What is a flag? What is a logo?
• What is a citizen? What is a consumer?
• What is the Constitution? What is an End User License Agreement?
• Which do you prefer, Free Speech which can be outrageous and/or offensive or the guidelines of Facebook and Twitter
• Which do you trust more, Google or the US Government? Which has better governance, more transparency, accountability and legal protections?
• What uses capital more efficiently, Google or the US Government?
• Who will keep you safer, Microsoft or The US government?
• Which is the more durable currency: Would you like your tax refund in American dollars or Amazon stock? What if you could pay your mortgage with your Facebook stock?
• What is a bank? What is a Microsoft credit?
• What has better service, the government or the Apple store?
• Is a person’s social capital a reliable indicator of a person’s credit worthiness?

People are avatars

You are on Planet Prime and they are in a cold war to make it harder for you to have any relationships, commercial or personal, with anybody, place or thing that is not also on Prime.

Autonomous services will self-initiate based on observing past behavior and current context. 

Users won’t need to purposely select them. It will be always on in the background. Will your servant really be your master?

You will delegate as many decisions to Prime as possible

You will grow to trust that Amazon Prime will make the right decisions on your behalf

Gathering more data is one key to this; artificial intelligence to make good decisions with that data is another

Artificial Intelligence Governing System of Prime

You will be appointed a community activist, your liaison to political representatives, your legislature, judge, news and bank.

Trust is the result of experience so making good ‘lifestyle governance’ decisions is stacked. AIGSP will earn more permissions to make more decisions. But, it will be impossible for you to know if the  ecosystem is really making the best possible choices because they are not showing those other nuisance things like lower prices, widely divergent opinions and all that stupid stuff.

Prime is built, its flags are planted, people are migrating.

Citizenship is hereditary
