They’re Selling You Back to Yourself

Have you ever felt like your phone knows you a little too well?

Like it shows you something you didn’t search for—but were just thinking about?

That’s not a coincidence.

That’s your digital voodoo doll doing its job.

Yes, really. And no, it’s not sci-fi.

 What Is a Digital Voodoo Doll?

Former Google insiders call it the “digital voodoo doll”—a virtual replica of you that big tech companies have quietly built behind the scenes.

It’s not cute. It’s not helpful. It’s not a cartoon.

It’s a behavioral clone of you made from:

• Every click you’ve ever made

• Every pause, every scroll, every location

• Your voice, your tone, your habits, your pain

And it’s always… talking. Always transmitting. Always updating.

This voodoo doll doesn’t sit on a shelf. It’s alive in the system—predicting your next move, influencing your next choice, and quietly reshaping your life.

And Here’s the Twist:

They're getting ready to sell it back to you.

AI agents are on the rise—tools that "sound like you," "know what you want," and "automate your day."

But what they really do is give your voodoo doll a voice.

And soon, you’ll be:

• Paying for apps that act just like you

• Delegating decisions to bots trained on you

• Subscribing to your own digital reflection

Let that sink in.

You are not the customer. You are the product. And soon, you’ll be the buyer too.

Weaponized You

This gets darker.

Because your voodoo doll isn’t just being used for convenience.

It can be weaponized:

• To manipulate your emotions and beliefs

• To feed you rage or shame-based content that keeps you addicted

• To polarize your politics, numb your attention, or hijack your time

It knows when you’re lonely. When you’re insecure. When you're most likely to buy something, believe something, or break down.

And it can be trained to target those exact moments—for someone else’s gain.

Your Reflection Isn’t Neutral

When your digital twin starts acting, speaking, and deciding on your behalf, who’s really in control?

You?

Or the systems that trained it?

Because if you didn’t build it—if you didn’t consent to it—then your voodoo doll doesn’t serve you.

It serves whoever’s paying the most for access.
