Freedom & the Society of Control

"Intelligence means choosing-between. It is not entirely free in so far as it is caught in between, which depends on the system in operation. Intelligence has no access to outside, because it makes a choice between options in the system. Therefor intelligence does not really exercise free choice: it can only select among the offerings the system affords. Intelligence follows the logic of the system. It is system- immanent. a given system defines given intelligence."
- Byung-Chul Han, "Psychopolitics and New Technology of Power"
