Autonomy in the Power Process
From Chapter 7 of the Unabomber Manifesto: Industrial Socirty & Its Future:


"Autonomy as a part of the power process may not be necessary for every individual. But
most people need a greater or lesser degree of autonomy in working toward their goals. Their efforts
must be undertaken on their own initiative and must be under their own direction and control.
Yet most people do not have to exert this initiative, direction and control as single individuals. It
is usually enough to act as a member of a SMALL group. Thus if half a dozen people discuss a
goal among themselves and make a successful joint effort to attain that goal, their need for the
power process will be served. But if they work under rigid orders handed down from above that
leave them no room for autonomous decision and initiative, then their need for the power process
will not be served.
The same is true when decisions are made on a collective bases if the group
making the collective decision is so large that the role of each individual is insignificant"

Anonymous allows you to feel your autonomy, right? You are anonymous.

Agreed.
When the rate of technological progress outpaces the ability of a society to integrate it... shit is going to get fucked up.

"Today people live more by virtue of what the system does FOR them or TO them than by
virtue of what they do for themselves. And what they do for themselves is done more and more
along channels laid down by the system. Opportunities tend to be those that the system provides,
the opportunities must be exploited in accord with the rules and regulations, and techniques
prescribed by experts must be followed if there is to be a chance of success."

Re: Autonomy in the Power Process
interesting. You are now obviously a baiting troll shill. My autonomy shall be for the effect of my own reality, not others. As their quest to find their ethos is their own. Who am I to demand their attention, when I understand the need to be heard as an individual, yet still part of humanity as a whole. There must be compassion for life, because it is entagled in you.

You can do anything you like....
as long as it is unimportant.

All the power is within your own hands,
well the ones we decided to put there at least,
but look, it's in your hands, and it's all yours!!!
