Quick Note on Surveillance

There is plenty to say about surveillance. But at the moment, and more simply, at its base the need for surveillance arises most faithfully when labor is alienated. If one labors for some cause or function that one isn't viscerally connected to, it is a matter of course that one's efforts drift away from that cause or function, which eventually has to be corrected by someone who does have a visceral connection to that cause or function. Or else the cause or function goes unfulfilled or fails.
