RE: Voluntaryism: Do the Ends Justify the Means?
A thought provoking post and interesting debate. Some echos of philosopher Jeremy Bentham, whose Universalist ideals advocated freedoms and basic human rights. But then he also envisioned the Panopticon - institutional surveillance where by the inmate never knows if he is being watched, so they behave as if they are. This is the ultimate in social control.
Interesting. I'm not familiar with Jeremy Bentham, though the name does sound familiar. Constant surveillance doesn't sound all that great (or all that different from what we experience now).
