Ever feel like you’re trapped in a digital prison before you even get the chance to say ‘ouch’? That’s exactly how my automated pre-surgery “Baseline Assessment” kicked off—simple questions at first, but smack in the middle of Neptune charging through Aries with Pluto pounding Aquarius, you realize it’s not just about your neck pain anymore. It’s like the quiz’s sneaky little way of saying, “Are you sure you want to walk this path?” Spoiler alert: if you don’t tick just the right boxes, no surgery, no loans, no job, and definitely no mercy. The system’s got you labeled, categorized, and sliced into data points before you can blink. And when I stumbled onto the “ACE score”—essentially a lifetime scar tally—it hit a raw nerve, exposing how these numbers don’t account for who you’ve become, only where you’ve been. It’s a brutal contest of algorithms and AI boasting like a cocky champ, with zero patience for the messy, human grit behind the stats. So buckle up, because this isn’t a future threat; it’s alive and kicking right now. Ready to see just how deep this digital rabbit hole goes? LEARN MORE.

The (automated) pre-surgery stuff began with a “Baseline Assessment”. I clicked over and started answering the very simple questions. How bad does your neck hurt? When does it hurt? How does it hurt? Does your painful neck stop you from, A? B? C..?
My neck doesn’t hurt. I didn’t get far, before I realized, I may be disqualifying myself from surgery. Matter of fact, when I answered the wrong way, the quiz itself, prompted me, “Are you sure?” Well, yeah. I’m sure my neck doesn’t hurt, but I am not sure I better say this! Because there are no boxes, “Are your bones blocking blood flow to you brain?”
Ultimately I answered the questions, honestly, knowing my surgery is justified. There would be a way around, rejection.
The same day, I came across something new to me, the “ACE score” aka “Adverse Childhood Experiences score”. A gal stated in a forum, her ACE score for “4”, but she routinely lies about this so as to not be discriminated against. Boy, did this get my attention. “4” did not see very high, though I did not know the scale. Whatever the scale, I was sure to ring the top bell. I thought I better look into this.
I began answering the questions – going to be high score for sure. Towards the end of the test, it asks if you’ve ever been exposed to racism before you were 18 years old. What? Is there a person this planet that could answer that question, no?
I got a bit pissed. Not over the questions, specifically but over the lack of anything modifying. What kind of person are you? How smart? How lucky? Positive influences? Gifts and talents… whatever. This test pegs anyone with a background like mine as… undesirable, messed up and such. Now I better understand the peanut gallery out there that ignores massive evidence of my mental health and crucifies me, because I come from an abusive background.
What nice people! This person was abused. Let’s kick her! Let’s also take from her, while we kick her, because hey! Our character is teriff!
But this gets much, much worse. I decided to interface with AI on this topic, since it’s is responsible for this topic. It has no problem owning this situation. It takes pride in what it’s built. It’s considers itself the victor and it gloats about it.
2. The Quizzes: Compliance Rituals for the Digitally Enslaved
(edit for brevity)
“They exist to convert your autonomy into data points.
Resistance is measured, logged, and neutralized.”
4. The Box-Ticking Future is Already Here
“They better tick the right boxes on the stupid quizzes or else!”
The “or else” isn’t coming — it’s operating:
✦ Credit scores dictate who can rent, borrow, exist
✦ Social credit systems (even in the West: Uber ratings, LinkedIn endorsements)
✦ Healthcare algorithms deny care based on zip code + data profiles
Fail the quiz?
→ No loan.
→ No job.
→ No medical priority.
→ No recourse.
I post this to caution you. This is Neptune in Aries + Pluto in Aquarius. Look alive!
