The "alienation" comment of LLCY (below) made me think just as much as did the video of the Boltanski. In many settings ( medical, governmental, educational, etc.) one is really expected to behave like a "number", and when one doesn't, one can see surprise register on the faces around one. To be designated as a number is one thing, but to comply with that and also behave like a number is a worse crime. That's what I am taking away from this experience. Thank you all.
Cybernetic-economic environmental innovation, man as victim of his own: apathy, alienation from one's own life, motivation, inadequate communication problems, stunted man as an identity to a number.
Conclusion: The global competition of nations, leads to the demise of the individual.
