Communication and Control

[nix]

For those interested in a more general discussion of the parameters of the internet in its capacity as both surveillance and communication mechanism, see here:

And then consider the implications of using internet anonymity and encryption to both divert and divest power to and from the state.

“Of all of these anti-homeostatic factors in society, the control of the means of communication is the most effective and the most important. One of the lessons of the present book is that any organism is held together in this action by the possession, use, retention, and transmission of information.”

Norbert Wiener

He was launching his vision of cybernetics in which he regarded signals in any medium, living or artificial, as the same; dependent on their structure and obeying a set of universal laws set out by Shannon.
