“For Our Own Safety”
February – March, 2023
68 Razmadze Street
Just as an “intelligent”, cybernetic creature which is created in a laboratory of a fantasy genre film leaves the reins of management and appears as an independent actor – so does a society, shaping and “production” of which is in the mode of “processing” from the earliest stages of history. As a rule, it should be the object of development, that appears to be somewhat out of the control zone and turns itself into a commissioner establishing a moral framework, customs, standards of acceptance or non-acceptance, norms of behavior and even the adequacy of views. A soulless mass which is composed of spiritual individuals and operates beyond real existence, still manages to dictate personal contours of a mentioned individual. The society with an ambition to follow the supremacy of dictation and knowledge does not need arguments to prove correctness of its views. It uses an aggressive, dictatorial treatment to maintain a constant mode of listening.
…It is sad to realize that one becomes a spiritualized organ of this inanimate body, one of its driving elements that moves under its guidance.
