98. The 1984 Machiavellian Panopticon Technocracy

Technocracy can take many faces and could be applied in many different ways. I propose that there are two main phases to the realization of technocracy in our current world. The first is addressed in this episode through the use of a few allusions- 1984 by George Orwell, The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli, and The Panopticon Writings by Jeremy Bentham. This is the phase we find ourselves in now and it is still solidifying as we shift as a society. We are in an Age of Transition, as mentioned in the previous episode and second season as a whole, and therefore the systems and structures we are transitioning into, more technocratic in nature, must be assessed.   - Website - http://www.ourfoundations.podbean.com/ - Email - [email protected] - Patreon page to support / donate - https://www.patreon.com/ourfoundations - Twitter - https://twitter.com/Foundationspc - Medium - https://medium.com/@OurFoundations - Bitcoin Address - 1AZFLCvmfXasChaaecgYMP3vtnUrnLJoY7 - Ethereum - 0x409D0F2766e208C1Ea97fF2429D38a3D9E3abd3a - Zcash - t1SZKfocBcghVMWVCsbSA9zAHr5fzsxi62H - Pivx - D7ziutb5gGNnJ5pXngwa3w9zJj2P1iNzUT - Nano - nano_16gh7igt8zb1cntbmq1hrnmnc9ea9qrj3zycscqywhak5dgtx1gwommekt7r - Music  - New Digital War by Groove Bakery | https://groovebakery.com, Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com, Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-ND 4.0) - Pied Piper by Shaolin Dub is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License. - Jet Fueled Vixen Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License  - Hard Fragility by Bisou is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial License
