"I think in the short term, everything will be offered with great benefits. It was quite interesting what you were talking about...Sam Altman offering his Worldcoin by literally paying people for their biometrics.
So your biometrics link you, your physical self. So, your biometrics is biological identifier. So your face, your iris, your fingerprints, whatever. That links the physical you to your digital twin, and your digital twin exists in the virtual world, so whatever happens or whatever rules are applied to your digital twin will have an impact on you as a person.
We'll have programmable digital currency, then your digital currency doesn't work outside of your 15-minute city. So...there's not a wall stopping you leaving the city, your physical self. But once you're outside of the city, you can't buy anything or pay for anything. So you are geo-fenced. You're geo-fenced into that locale because you haven't got any means of supporting yourself outside of it. So this is the kind of thing that they're working on. This is the kind of thing that they're testing.
They envisage, what ultimately, I suppose, the umbrella term that we could use for all these different things...15 minute city, human settlement, resilient city...is smart city. And that's definitely coming from a global governance level. The commitment is part of what they call the New Urban Agenda."
