The Power of Data and Surveillance
Büyük ölçekte
you need to convince everybody to believe in the same story.
Tarihin asıl motoru gerçekten de hikayelerdir. Ve bu hikayelerin doğru
And they don't even need to be true.
olması bile gerekmez. Tarihteki en güçlü hikayelerin bazıları kurguydu. Ama herkesi,
ya da en azından nüfusun önemli bir kısmını aynı
hikayeye inanmaya ikna etmelisiniz, yoksa işe yaramaz. Bilim aslında,
en azından bir tarihçi olarak benim görüşüm bu, bilim aslında gerçekle
science is not really about truth, it's about power.
The real aim of science as a project,
bir kurum olarak, gerçek değil, güçtür. Belirli bireyler, belirli bilim insanları,
Particular individuals, particular scientists,
kişisel olarak gerçekle çok ilgileniyor olabilir, ama bir kurum olarak
but as an institution, the real aim of science is power.
geleceğe gerçekten sahip olurlar. İnsanlık tarihinde öyle bir noktaya
We are reaching a point in human history
ulaşıyoruz ki artık yeterli biyolojik
bilgiye ve yeterli bilgi işlem gücüne sahibiz, ve milyonlarca
insanı sistematik olarak hacklemek için tek ihtiyacınız olan şey veri.
İnsanları hacklemek, onları kendilerinden daha iyi tanımak demektir.
San Francisco'daki veya Pekin'deki birinin, sizi, kendinizden daha iyi tanıması,
knows you, knows more about you than you know about yourself,
tıbbi durumunuzu, zihinsel zayıflıklarınızı, 5 yıl önce,
about your mental weaknesses,
20 yıl önce yaptığınız ve tamamen unuttuğunuz şeyleri bilmesi demektir.
you completely forgot about them, they know it.
Bu daha önce hiç karşılaşmadığımız bir şey.
Bunu KGB bile yapamazdı. Ve şimdiden ortaya
of such total surveillance regimes
gibi yerlerde, kendi ülkem olan İsrail gibi yerlerde,
in places like in my own home country in Israel,
işgal altındaki topraklar adında büyük bir gözetleme laboratuvarımız var,
burada 2,5 milyon kobayınız var, tamamen nasıl gözetleyip kontrol
of how to completely survey and control
edeceğinize dair bir, bir, bir nüfusu çok
az askerle. Yani rakamlara baktığınızda, inanılmaz verilerine sahipseniz
I mean, when you look at the numbers, it's amazing
how few soldiers you need to control millions of people if you have their data.

Original transcript (English)
In order to collaborate on a large scale, you need to convince everybody to believe in the same story. What really, the, the, the engine of history is stories. And they don't even need to be true. Some of the most powerful stories in history were fictions.
But you need to get everybody, or at least a significant part of the population, to believe in the same story, otherwise it doesn't work. Science is not really, at least this is my view as a historian, science is not really about truth, it's about power. The real aim of science as a project,
as an establishment, is not truth, it's power. Particular individuals, particular scientists, may be very interested in the truth, personally, but as an institution, the real aim of science is power. Those who own the data really own the future.
We are reaching a point in human history that we have enough biological knowledge and we have enough computing power, and all you need in order to systematically hack millions of people is just the data. That to hack people means to know people better than they know themselves.
To, somebody in San Francisco, in Beijing, knows you, knows more about you than you know about yourself, about your medical condition, about your mental weaknesses, things that you did 5 years ago, 20 years ago,
you completely forgot about them, they know it. This is something we never faced before. Not even the KGB could do it. And we are already beginning to see the emergence of such total surveillance regimes in places like Xinjiang,
in places like in my own home country in Israel, we have this big laboratory of surveillance called the occupied territories, where you have 2.5 million guinea pigs of how to completely survey and control a, a, a population
with very few soldiers. I mean, when you look at the numbers, it's amazing how few soldiers you need to control millions of people if you have their data.
