biopolitics
Biopolitics is the art of treating living humans as data points and turning birth and death into business opportunities under the guise of governance. Cells and heartbeats are harvested as raw material for statistical domination. The purest realms of privacy are proclaimed public good to justify surveillance and optimization. Health and freedom become mere decorations of policy, while the true aim is the perpetuation of power over life. Scholars and corporations roam this enchanted forest, trading in human vitality and expanding the labyrinth of the state.
