Jubilee Prosperity

Since the reductionists saw no difference between an engine block and society, they imagined the same principles held true for both.

Wiener’s cybernetics thought the creative method was just a random by-product of access to information, as evolution was just random mutations which survived.

Therefore, they monitored the amount of information released into the field, acting as information thermostat for society. In order to control the flow of information, the helmsmen nested themselves inside major media outlets and opinion-shaping centers in project. Operation Mockingbird led to the Church Committee identifying over 400 CIA mass media relationships including ownership of public media. One blowback was terrorist kidnappings of journalists.

Later, the heirs of the cybernetics were involved in creating the DARPA funded and developed information superhighway which predated Al Gore.

They created software that monitored the flow of information on the Internet like a massive electrical circuit board, setting up circuit-breakers and monitoring digital amps and voltage.

This concept was at the core of social networking, the establishment of sets of game theory matrices [14] aimed at enforcing consensus.

The mechanization of societal relations was based on Wiener’s idea that it is possible to mechanize thought. To bolster this view of the human mind, Norbert Wiener lied by saying that Leibniz would have signed off on a reasoning machine:

Now just as the calculus of arithmetic lends itself to a mechanization progressing through the abacus and the desk computing machine to the ultra-rapid computing machines of the present day, so the ‘calculus ratiocinator’ of Leibniz contains the germs of the machina ratiocinatrix, reasoning machine.

Indeed, Leibniz himself, like his predecessor Pascal, was interested in the construction of mechanical computing machines.

It is therefore not in the least surprising that the same intellectual impulse which led to the development of mathematical logic led to the ideal or actual mechanization of processes of thought.” [15]
