- Most people will not demand or expect real privacy; that war is already lost.

Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

I see things differently.

As explained initially - I donāt trust my hardware, software, operating system, ISP, DNS, browser. Not playing game who has better encryption, who has deeper underground bunker, whose tin foil hat is more radiation resistant. I always assumed that Iām already hacked.
I want to use extra intelligence, I actually think it is already happening - people posting statuses on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram - who can borrow a bike, who know this and that, where do I find... Now adding incentives, and now as I think about it - blockchain not required - a lot of things can work perfectly without a blockchain.
Example: Open Bazaar. Using Bitcoin and other crypto as payment, did not need Open Bazaar Coin to function.

Goal
Make better decisions, when the timing is critical and I do not have access to full information.
I want to enhance (superpower) my human abilities.
Just like Siri, Alexa, Cortana but combined with real human intelligence.
There could be a human operator - concierge - responding to my queries. A pool of 10 operators could handle 100+ customers, with similar to Uber āsurge pricingā in the periods of high demand.
Prototype
Cheap Android device streaming all the time,
Feed can be public or private.
More advanced version would involve 360 camera.
More discrete option would involve camera in the glasses, not to freak out other people.
Think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin.tv but 10 years later (technology exponentionally better) with blockchain marketplace incentives and people already becoming cyborgs, streaming live all the time and consuming mucho mucho media.
Use case
Sometimes I am presented with a decision - when the priorities are set straight, itās easy to make the right choice. But sometimes Iām missing full information, there are other parties involved, there are conflicting priorities, each option is equally good or equally bad - I want to access my support network.
āNormalā people would call a friend or a family member, Iām a little bit autistic and I struggle to maintain healthy relationships with other humans. Meeting new people OK, social situations OK, just constant travel (decentralization) and bumping into same guys at conferences hardly count as meaningful relationship.
Privacy concerns
Some people are concerned about privacy, surveillance.
Some people are outraged by Snowden ārevelationsā and Cambridge Analytica using FB data to efficiently target US and BREXIT voters.
There is nothing surprising in the fact that government wants to govern, it is nothing surprising that campaign teams want to spend their marketing budged efficiently.
10 years ago Obama was praised was use of social media and appealing to younger generation. Now it appears to be a surprise that other guy is using modern technology to target voters.
I always assumed that Iām already hacked.
(hanging out at CCC, SHA, EMFCAMP)
I have no way of recourse against state actor and / or sufficiently motivated attacker.
I donāt trust my hardware (intel management system), software, operating system, ISP, DNS, browser.
Even if I use completely open-source laptop just like Richard Stallman, Free Software Foundation, I do not have enough expertise to verify authenticity of all the drivers.
I just assume Iām a small fish and there no game theory incentives to hack me. If someone wants to hack me, there is always a way, regardless how much energy Iāve spent on protecting myselfā¦ Rather than playing of who has better encryption, who has deeper underground bunker, whose tin foil hat is more radiation resistant.

Some people still may feel weird.
We still have a long way to go.
Ethical concerns

$200k on biohacking: https://hackernoon.com/im-32-and-spent-200k-on-biohacking-became-calmer-thinner-extroverted-healthier-happier-2a2e846ae113
Those with the access to such tools will have massive competitive advantage against regulars.
The gap is already happening - having personal chef, personal trainer, all the supplements and vitamins surely help maintain the edge.
Economy
As a student in Krakow, Poland I was working on a click farm, sending invites on MySpace to a dating site. $2 per hour, that was 2 beers in a pub.
(donāt put me into jail for breaking Terms & Conditions of a website that is long gone)
2 beers in a pub in London is roughly Ā£10, London living wage: https://www.livingwage.org.uk/calculation
Iām morally OK to pay $1 per hour, one operator can monitor many feeds. We can agree on some minimal statutory satoshis per second, but I'd rather allow free market to work.
At some point my data can become a commodity and DAI (decentralised autonomous intelligence) will bid to have priority to access or exclusivity.
Do you know existing projects of this type?
