Selling Your Identity

A Facebook contact of mine once remarked, "Soon you'll be able to sell your identity and make a tidy sum. A certain TikToker already did it and made a billion. True, his online audience was millions." This remark caused quite a stir among my followers.

So, what's the deal? Is it about selling one's "self" or just the attributes that come with it? Before you can sell your identity as your property, it must be registered properly. Only then can it be brought to market. The market must also understand the rules for trading these "commodities."

What makes up identity, anyway? Is it your face, body proportions, voice, fingerprints... or something more? Does it include your character and profession? Your way of thinking, intellectual and emotional profile? Your memories and particularly memorable events in life? Your favourite music and films, paintings and books? Your friends and foes... images of love and hate?

You can keep delving deeper into a person's personality. What truly matters beyond all this is the human self. It is unchangeable, inalienable, and incomprehensible, much like the Creator. A person is recognised by their identity elements. These create a virtual image, like an avatar, which the owner can use for a fee.

My interlocutor mentioned that the first step is to grab the attention of VIP clients. These clients will be in the highest demand. He said he found a law in Guernsey, one of the British islands, about identity registration. The work is ongoing, and he is confident it will be in demand as legislation in this area develops. According to him, we need to get involved now - the first one to succeed will reap the rewards.
