So is being human inexorably tied with being a cyborg? From the moment we separated ourselves from animals we were on the path? #jmarx110b
Making technology that allows us to advance and make more technology is like another feedback loop. #jmarx110b
Blurring between art&life could account for the reason people get personally invested in the plot &characters of books & movies. #jmarx110b

Interesting how we've been taught to feel guilty for taking these small vacations, such as eating sweets when we shouldn't #jmarx110b
We're fascinated by the idea of paradoxically viewing someone outside the panopticon. Think of all the books and movies about it. #jmarx110b
Where would a prison like 19th century Newgate fall on punish vs discipline practices? Just a place to cordon off miscreants? #jmarx110b
Are people who actively try to escape all institutions inherently part of one? Think Christopher McCandless. #jmarx110b
Before the shift to discipline, were criminals considered beyond rehabilitation? #jmarx110b
It's possible that the "extreme" discipline F describes in Mettray was meant to teach inmates how to live honorably after prison #jmarx110b
@Evanrm3 Differences defining women from men make it impossible for them to have fetishes. Their fixations go by a different name #jmarx110b
Freud doesn't expound upon it, but is it implied that the inverse of his argument would result in a female fetishist? #jmarx110b
The fact that all test subjects are male is integral to Freud's whole argument. Does he see fetishism as impossible in a woman? #jmarx110b
In A's opinion, written word's more potent than spoken word? So freedom of press could be more dangerous to gov than free speech? #jmarx110b
A explains print as a cause of social change (Luther's theses), which is the case even today, in a modern variation (Egypt's rev) #jmarx110b
B's appreciation for certain texts could actually come from having read many others...students wouldn't have that scope. #jmarx110b
