The New World Order by. Cybernetics & Entheogenics: In 1948 Norbert Weener published a book, Cybernetics, defined as a neurological communication and control theory already in use in small circles at that time.

Partial censorship will cause those being censored to find alternate methods of collaborating with their peers, and global censorship will be extremely difficult to implement.

MAN IS A RESULT OF HIS PICTURES

The irreligious man thus proves to be one who takes his conscience in its psychological facticity. Facing it as merely an immanent fact, he stops - stops prematurely - for he considers conscience the ultimate to what he is responsible. However, conscience is not the last to what of responsibleness, but the next to last. On his way to find the ultimate meaning of life, the irreligious man, as it were, has not reached the highest peak, but rather has stopped at the next to highest. (This, of course, is the way the religious man looks at the irreligious.) And what is the reason the irreligious man does not go further? It is because he does not want to lose the firm ground under his feet. The true summit is barred from his vision; it is hidden in the fog, and he does not risk venturing into it, into this uncertainty. Only the religious man hazards it.

What does it mean to be part of a cybernetic system? For a conscious human being it means taking part in an evolving loop, where you are both the subject and the object of experimentation. This is the relation that has developed between scientific inquiry and world-changing technology. Researchers reshape the environment that defines them, and vice-versa. Such self-affecting loops are the vectors of a radical constructivism, an artificialization of existence. Their content and their continuous metamorphosis are what gives form to life in a cybernetic society.

The benefits of those lines of research are too great to be hindered by general, ineffective censorship. Biological research, too, offers many opportunities to improve our quality of life and should not be hurt by useless censorship.

From its earliest beginnings in logic and control engineering, cybernetics grew to become not a single discipline but a full-fledged scientific paradigm, based on the concepts of purpose, information, feedback, circular causality and dynamic equilibrium. Warren McCulloch conceived this science as an experimental epistemology: a way of knowing continually tested and modified through laboratory investigations which only that particular way of knowing makes possible.1 Biological processes and man-machine interactions were the initial sites of cybernetic investigation. But as the paradigm expanded, thanks to the patronage of Anglo-American research administrators in the 1940s and 1950s, the laboratory shifted its sites of inquiry from the deepest recesses of the mind to the entire range of social relations, before finally focusing on the most integrated circuit of them all, the ecosystem. Engineers, physicists, mathematicians, biologists, neurologists, linguists, psychiatrists, anthropologists and sociologists all made it their business to animate this experimental laboratory, in order to satisfy their own curiosity as well as the demands of the state, the military and the corporations. To the extent that such experimentation continues using the almost limitless behavioral data furnished by the Internet we are all part of a cybernetic system, which may be called the world laboratory. One crucial question for understanding the societies we live in today is how this laboratory has developed historically, on what basis, with which raw materials and to which ends: because only through its historical unfolding can an epistemology bring forth a world. Another crucial question concerns our own roles in the construction, alteration or rejection of the world laboratory.---Do not repeat a tactic which has gained you victory, but shape your actions to an infinite variety. Water sets its flow according to the ground below; set your victories according to the enemy against you. War has no constant aspect as water has no constant shape."I think, and my thoughts cross the barrier into the synapses of the machine, just as the good doctor intended. But what I cannot shake, and what hints at things to come, is that thoughts cross back. In my dreams, the sensibility of the machine invades the periphery of my consciousness: dark, rigid, cold, alien. Evolution is at work here, but just what is evolving remains to be seen."
