Of course coercion is a level of the process. Outright force is another level. But modern authority depends first on *belief* in the teleology of modern progress. But the dictum “free your mind and your ass will follow” always applies. Social, cultural, political, and technological change go wither we accept they should go within our local context. Decide not to comply, and the change doesn’t happen. Decide a different route, and change happens that way. Proof is in the pudding.

In response to this postAs late capital descends into a dark age of cyberfeudalism, the people licensed to decide are tending toward changes which enable brute force above regimes of ideological complicity. The essence of rapid evolution in #AI lies in the desperate desire of oligarchs and their sycophants to enforce their decisions with mechanical reliability. This precisely because the limits of human discipline under ideological fatalism have probably been reached.
Consent can only be manufactured so far.
So of course the oligarchy looks to the Terminator films as a template for the world they desire. Humans under high modernity were still herded by other humans, however enhanced by technology. In the new order, humans will be herded directly by machine. The significance of #AI is to a full spectrum elite curation of society, force applied at every level: physical, social, philosophical, emotional. They will find all the buttons we have and push them.
