What personal details do the powers that be already know about you?
The powers that be already know all about you: your idiosyncrasies, where you spend and invest money, your health, and everything else. Those powers include insurance companies, financial institutions, and magazines; the technology exists, so there is no escaping it.
Les explains that the powers that be will know the activity of every home on the planet through the information that television sets will become, and nobody will be left out. He says he has told his classes over the years that “they know all about you,” and people ask who “they” are. He does not know exactly, but he knows they have the information, as articles show. They know all about him and you, your idiosyncrasies, where you spend your money, where you have it invested, how you spend it, and your health—everything. In the farming area, farm magazines offer free subscriptions if you fill out details about your operation, like how many head of cows you run and how many acres. Les quit filling them out and would rather pay for the subscription so they do not have to know. He says the world is doing this, and it is likely the same in every other profession or occupation.
