Topic: Panopticism

1 chapters across the catalog

The philosophical roots of modern technocracy are traced back to Plato's "Republic" and Jeremy Bentham's concept of the panopticon. Jay Dyer explains that the goal is the mathematical quantification of all human life, allowing a "scientific priest class" to manage society as a grid. This system, championed by the Fabian Society and the Royal Society, seeks to replace individual freedom with a self-policing collective where every action is tracked and traced.
