The Panopticon

An illustration of life in a Panopticonic society.

You may want to watch the other version. It should be easy to find. It's mainly the same, except the narrator is a little louder and the leg is differently cut.

Here are some links explaining the thoughts idea.

what is this thing called panapticonic society?

[mrsnuffels]

This is from someone's web-page. I've been trying to post a link, but youtube won't let me.

"It creates in the individual a sense that an observer is always present to lookout against objectionable behavior."

"In a panopticon setting, each of us feels that we are un-obviously observed at any time or at all times by controlling institutions of power"

[mrsnuffels]

"More importantly though, the power of the panopticon lies in that it suppresses the idea of doing a malevolent behavior in all people even before it gets the chance to be actualized. In other words, an "all-seeing" society puts us all in a vulnerable situation where we always feel fear of being caught should we do a disagreeable conduct."
