John Moore: From an antipolitical perspective, the implications are clear. On the one hand, anarchy must be rejuvenated and become conscious and vigilant. Liberation from all forms of coercion and hierarchy, including its formulation in the cuneal paradigm, can be achieved only through an attentive and sagacious anarchy. On the other hand, techniques must be developed whereby the controlled can experience the psychosocial biodegradation process, with its liberating cathartic effects, and hence regain their forfeited heritage as uncontrollables—the real paradise lost.

Of course, this is just the latest brainchild of the monster agency from another planet known as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.  From remote control aviation to the human-machine interface, this entity continuously seeks more and more efficient means of retaining some control over what is left of a soldier's autonomy.  This is the purpose of technology, of course, at least according to the technocracy; corner the market on decision making in the field, be that field economic or military or, as in the case of fascist states, both.

Humanity has always invested heavily in any scheme that offers escape from the body. And why not? Material reality is such a mess. Some of the earliest "religious" artefacts, such as Neanderthal ochre burials, already suggest a belief in immortality. All modern (i.e. post-paleolithic) religions contain the "Gnostic trace" of distrust or even outright hostility to the body and the "created" world.

Aldous Huxley, 1959: "And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing … a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it..."

Snip: "While it may have appeared to American T.V. viewers that 'Shock and Awe' was merely a catchy media label for the U.S. bombing campaign in Iraq, its actual origins, and a whole theory of warfare, are found in a 1996 advisory report published by the National Defense University..."

When it comes to the state-of-affairs as exists in so many, allegedly free countries (e.g. the USA), one must consider the results of what has been called the “Lesser Primate Committee Thinking Experiment.”
