Maybe there's a media empire that can be built from people like this? We've always had such people in the media, but our tools and technology hold more potential power to individuals than ever before.

How about "Freakonomics News?" A reality show using the methods used by the campaigns to figure out the behavior of "cohorts" could be devastating. Marketers have known scary stuff about us based on personal data, even before the Internet. A show based on actuarial data and gene sequencing would be both informative and appeal to base instincts.
