We have a lot of different kinds of cells in our bodies; hair, bone, eye,
brain, toenail, teeth, lung, skin... And they all started from ONE CELL.
And they all knew where to go and which type to become. And how to operate
together in a large complex system.

A single cell, in its DNA strands, holds a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION.

Every cell in our body is structured by information, the DNA helix.

This information structuring is why we don't just splash to the
ground in a muddy puddle of our constituent chemicals.

We are matter structured by information.

Whew!

Cybernetics is VERY heavy-duty stuff.

It can yield the ULTIMATE in control.

It can be applied to controlling people in a society.

Cybernetic control of society.

The 'arousal filter' Stafford Beer and his cyberneticians
set up was effectively keyword monitoring of traffic.

When you use keywords to either select or exclude traffic, each step
is a 'filter' step. If you make it past all the filters, a human then
reviews the results to see if it calls for action. "arousal filter"

Mr. Beer was trying to help the economy by massive real-time monitoring
of factories and companies and banks, and thus help the people of Chile.
