The idea of ​​total control over subjects has many thousands of years. In the XVIII century it was possible to formalize it. At that time, one philosopher lived in England - Jeremiah Bertram. Like all philosophers, he loved to study human nature on himself. So, this dude was obsessed with the function of observing the prisoners (a good idea to consider oches and some of the demos to prisoners), for which he came up with buildings in prisons in a round form. All cameras went out into the courtyard, their three walls were stone, and the one that was borrowed from the grate. Strictly in the center was the observation tower from which the observation was carried out, and the prisoners could not know at what moment they were followed. Thus, the problem was solved by minimal means. There were no guards at all, and only one could be a “looking”. By the way, he offered himself to this position and agreed to fulfill it until his death. Here, damn it, what is science with people, where else can you meet such a self -sacrifice? It is clear that Bertram was not at all an architectural plan, but an attempt to implement a disciplinary principle in society. In England, they did not become interested in his project, but in Cuba they built such a round structure. They say correctly that there is nothing better than a good theory. By the way, the brothers Castro sat in this prison for a couple of years, and it was called presido fashionable. Now the museum is in the building. As I understand it, Fidel approved such a philosophical concept. Nowadays, the past achievements of philosophy are subjected to skepticism, but the disciplinary principle of monitoring society was not rejected, simply, it has undergone some changes. Modern technical means allow observing almost every person, and this individual may not know at what point the competent authorities paid attention to him. Such a fabulous panopticum takes a complete look if the weapon system is developed. This is what I can’t understand is where people who like such an attraction come from?
