Deleuze - Control Societies & Cybernetic Posthumanism

[@aalex100]

I'm a Data Engineer and thanks to your vid I've just realised the scale of this logic of 'society of control' in modern world. Companies are pushing these cloud services and subcription-based business models thus eliminating the concept of 'owning stuff', replacing it with 'having access to stuff'. As for machine governance, there is in fact a widespread belief of 'technological solutionism' that algorithms+data is more than enough to solve any kind of problem, not just recognizing cats on pictures, but ruling entire countries, even though there are numerous evidences of algorithms (treated as black boxes) failing miserably at such crucial tasks. I'm geniunely stunned how accurately Deleuze could describe these trends back in 90s, as I previously held his works as utter gibberish.

[@Mike-zd8wq]

Just wait till you get into Baudrillard.

[@alpastor9868]

I feel like these systems have a lot of potential to coordinate society in a way that's more beneficial for all its participants. The systems in a human body work in a way that benefit its constituent elements, and the disparate systems cohere to form a unified whole. But I don't trust the people designing these systems to realize that potential.

[@NO-LIVAS]

@@alpastor9868 agreed, that it is deliberately cutting the body up into different packages that you pay for access to. For me the overarching cause of most of our problems is our current version of capitalism in the u.s. The unsustainable and perverse goal of increasing profit year after year instead of thinking how best to benefit our own society is the problem. Sad!

Is this an automated feedback ? Jk

[@kerycktotebag8164]

I sought out labels generated by tests like Myers-Briggs, Big 5, Enneagram, figuring out what my belief systems consisted of (turns out, it is panentheism, metamodernism, emanationism, dialectical thinking), and stuff like gender and sexuality, and I deeply broke apart very granular things like how I process information and how I confront emotions through introspection and meditation techniques. My aim was to reduce the burden of self-regulation by figuring out what "works best" for me based on things I find most unassailable and unchangeable about my body and mind. Sort of establishing the guardrails and then letting myself operate "automatically" and only interfering when I experience dissonance, using the test outcomes/labels as heuristic guides to put myself back on the track of least dissonance and go about my merry way. I have autism, so my guess is that I didn't internalise the mechanisms of control (modulations?) from institutions-or, I did, but with a lot of dissonance due to bad fit (neurotypical people designed the modulators, so me not fitting in, and being traumatised as a result)-led me to set aside a lot of time after high school to basically build my own modulators after observing and testing my mind and body at length. That's what this video reminds me of. I don't know what it says about me that, after casting off all the automatic regulation processes furnished by society, I felt such a need to reprogram myself with these custom-fitted regulation strategies, rather than just become completely solipsistic and freewheeling like an egoist or something. But, clearly, I prefer having "guardrails", particularly in having some concept of myself as a dividual, as this allowed me to talk to other people better rather than having extremely idiosyncratic speech like I did after the "casting off" phase and prior to building new regulation strategies. Perhaps some kind of machinated regulation is what many human beings actually prefer, because I remember the period of time between me un-internalising institutional controls prior to building new strategies, and it was rough. I developed psychosis from the stress of it. Which, unfortunately for me, completely voided my emotions out and made me practically mute and I had almost no internal dialogue. I'm definitely happier now that I have "guardrails", but a part of me always recognises that this is probably because no human being can really function without them. An atomic "self" is unsustainable, immiserating and unstable. I think people in power have taken advantage of this, which is how so many people can remain in the thick of all these different types of societies (discipline, control, etc) even with the excesses and indignities they create. It's a trade-off for some deep human need for regulation as opposed to unbridled perfect atomic "freedom". But instead of focusing on the indignities, I'll look for new weapons

I like videotaping in public, like a 1st amendment auditor without monetization. Its a glitch, and makes the system immediately breakdown while giving me a sense of power, or freedom.

Hey Pills. Thanks to you I've just read the "Societies of Control" paper of Deleuze. He is scarily accurate in his description. This one has particularly stuck with me during the current pandemic: > For the hospital system: the new medicine "without doctor or patient" that singles out potentially sick people and subjects at risk, which in no way attests to individuation -- as they say -- but substitutes for the individual or numerical body the code of a "dividual" material to be controlled. Damn! It is almost as he has predicted various forms of social control that were implemented by some states in the form of quarantine control&restriction-apps. I find it utterly fascinating that he was able to envision those transformations in our societies in the early 90ies. I mean sure, some of it was already occurring during his time but most tendencies have only just begun to gain traction.

Fabulous work, you really hit the nail on relaying Deleuzian (and related) ideas and showing how prescient and on point D&G were!

[@Fryguystudios]

Really getting that deleuze idea where you always approach from the middle, and only through expanding and returning over and over do you actually carve out an understanding. Because that's literally my experience with deleuze and posthumanism; metaphorically bashing my head against the text until somehow out of nowhere everything starts to click as you watch/read the same thing for the thousandth time. All this is to say, I love the your content, man. You both expose me to knew forms of thought and are a helpful supplement when digging deeper into said thought - - I still rewatch the humanism series even as I dig into core texts on the subject. Anyways, can you expand on that deleuze quote at the end, and what he means by it? I have some idea simply due to my limited understanding of his work, but I'd like to hear your understanding of it.

[@tailanthaiboxing]

Deleuze no se refiere a los "Qué", se refiere a los "cómo". Al quedarse quieto, al perder toda la velocidad uno se encuentra en una situación donde pierde la potencia, donde uno es capturado. Deleuze habla de los "cómo" porque busca dar las herramientas para separarse de las líneas existentes para crear líneas de fuga. Esa frase también me genera sensaciones de filo, de radicalidad: literalmente dice construir armas. Saludo cib3rnetiko:)

[@fgmkugel]

Thanks! An interesting expansion of what you mentioned here might be how do gender and ethnicity play a role and how are we being also modulated/categorized with stereotypes and affective disciplines?

[@TulipQ]

Coming at this as someone with a bit of a computer programming background, it is funny to me that "maps" and "dictionaries, highly related data structures concepts, would be what the flows use to recognize users. When [you] as a user engage with a flow in the computer age, the computer either looks [you] up in the computer's dictionary or uses a map to find where in its memory [you] reside. In either case, [you] is then understood to mean "this set of parameters this system logged here" and all access and interaction must pass through this point to be lasting. That results in this hyper literal point where "I", the person writing this comment, am just the numbers that map leads to presented through literal machines.

I'm sure the justification is some variation of "efficiency" but can you speak to any particular reason markovian method is used over perhaps more effective means? I don't know if that even makes sense as it probably entirely depends on the goal or what I mean by 'effective' but I do know the youtube recommendations are dogshit and I constantly find videos I would think should be obvious recommendations like days or weeks later. Also, I only read the first paragraph on wikipedia (so I'm basically an expert) but I feel like this is basically historical materialism except applied to bullshit goals like 'time on site' or whatever which is kind of humorous and kind of hell.

I’m not familiar with Deleuze, or really any formal philosophy. Regardless, I’m keen to the formation of this “control society” and to post-humanistic concepts. I’m one of the most caution people I know regarding automation, Ai, surveillance, etc. with the formation of this “brave new world,” I detect one of the only possibilities of maintaining any individual autonomy is to become well versed in computer languages, Web3, DeFi and so on. I may be off the mark here, but I don’t see an alternative. As the old saying goes, “in order to break the rules we first must learn the rules.” Frightening future ahead for our presently evolving control/surveillance societies; even more frightening for those who will be its subjects.

Thank you for the respect you show towards D&G and Foucault by reinventing each part with adequate graphics and animation work, really making things come out of the words and quotes (and from their backgrounds and saliences too), you're a super intelligent young guy and be it by more and more improvising or on the contrary on having the episode more and more pre-designed, or both, and as you say its your weapon, a weapon of word-things and their use for an out loud dialogue, with thoughts and ideias and diverse discourses and practices that are themselves the thing itself, also flows and cuts built through several layers and dimensions... I feel you're pretty much there, as they say... I guess,, because I feel when seeing an episode as a whole object of art and philosophy, and complex communication, also respecting the complexity of this authors, with all the words, and all the images made to match what is an embodied philosophy of the authors and that you so well transform and recreate in your videos.

Awesome job as usual and I think I've said this before but the dope aesthetic you've created through the presentation I think really captures the essence of the neoliberal era. I know this was framed through the extension of Foucault's biopolitics, but I feel like Deleuze's concepts would be even _more_ enlightening and/or relevant when framed through technological rather than biological analogues a la Mr.Robot like with logic gates and such but maybe that's just my aesthetic preference and actually probably a pretty direct result of this whole totality. Also, perhaps coincidence or arbitrary or just someone actually willing to admit they've changed their mind about something, but I think the only time I was able to catalyze some sort of 'deterritorialization' of some libertarian guy online was through referring them to consider Foucault's conception of episteme, so maybe that speaks to the accessibility of these concepts to evoke some reconsideration of thought in relation to our confining...episteme...of liberal bourgeoisie "rationality" that essentializes capitalism literally at all costs.

Schizoanalysis? It would be rather overstated to call their critique bullshit, as Guattari was trained and analyzed by Lacan!

What appears basic is usually what is out of alignment. Having attended a top 25 UK uni I can categorically state a 'good' undergrad student means a good plagiarist, regurgitating another's work. However, only the interpretation the lecturer has of their icon though, be prepared to hit the lecturer with quotes if you're in that system. I lost all respect for that system when a lecturer backed down after being hit, but did not increase my essay's mark lol. My advice: be very wary around such people. Those who proclaim to be the mouthpiece of another will never be free, and thus will never let you be either.

CompSci also offers new weapons - think of github, open source etc., which are all tools with powerful potential for subverting systems of control, as well as the production of new machines not defined by logics imposed by those who are used to establishing systems of control. It's all in what you do with your knowledge!

[@aggelosvasilis7457]

@@laserbeam342 I definitely agree with you on that but you need to have good data sets for this thinks and you will never get the same data sets as these people have unless you are Russia and do a cyberattack and have your hackers work for you in a way but still its not enough. I might be still wrong cause I am a pessimist in general

Hi there! Thank you for the video, I'm trying to do something similar in Italy. I'll try to add italian subtitles to your video in an attempt to reach a broader audience, best of luck

[@PlasticPills]

That'd be great, thanks!

[@gravofcorp]

This is, excuse me, a damn fine video and a great job of clarification ! Bravo !

[@onthemud4732]

can i set your voice in this deleuze discussion as my alarm clock

[@screamzfromthepit]

just completed a phd in sociology and still havent been able to get my head around deleuze. every time i try, i end up abandoning the effort within a few days. it could be due to the fact that english is my second language (and i cannot even fathom trying to read him in french), but it's still annoying. thank you for highlighting some of the main aspects of his thought, just discovered your channel and it's seriously extremely useful. good luck

[@LeCoolCroco]

A lot of people say so, but what’s so complicated in Deleuze ?

[@LowestofheDead]

I agree, even the quotes in this video made almost no sense. Does anyone understand this unless they also read all the background philosophy - or have a professor explaining the actual meaning alongside? Whatever Deleuze is doing, it's not communicating.

[@kazrash]

great stuff as always, many thanks!

[@jacobchateau6191]

Enclosures and the gateways between them, as well as the altars within them which act as loci of 'sanctity' and authority, are formally dual to flow networks. In a computer-expressible, well-typed way. Here you go: if a flow is a PAIR OF FUNCTIONS Flows→Nodes, then a building is a PAIR OF FUNCTIONS Gates→Rooms. The first pair tells flows where they start and end; the second pair tells gates where they open and close. That's it.

[@jacobchateau6191]

The pairs go opposite ways, though. Every building can be flowed through, and every flow can be contained. The gates become flows, and the rooms become nodes.

[@heartache5742]

yeah this is why deleuze and guattari apply their theory of machines to systems way before societies of control
