Episode #186 ... Are we heading for a digital prison? - Panopticon (Foucault, Bentham, Cave)
Today we talk about Jeremy Bentham's concept of the Panopticon. Michel Foucault's comparison to society in 1975. The historical role of intelligence as a justification for dominance. The anatomy of free will, and how a digital world may systematically limit our free will without us knowing it.
