👀 #SOFTWAR "In the hands of oppressive regimes, computer programs can turn into panopticons giving governments unprecedented surveillance capabilities with pinpoint-precision and authoritarian control over billions of people. Cyberspace is nothing but a belief system, and never have so many people come to adopt the same belief system at such a global and unified scale. Therefore, never before have so many people been so vulnerable to exploitation and psychological abuse through their belief systems. Through the abstract reality of cyberspace, agrarian society can be entrapped, domesticated, farmed, and herded like cattle."
