Great article about one of my philosophical heroes, Michel Foucault — still incredibly relevant in a world saturated with social media.

“Science is not powerful because it is true — it is true because it is powerful.”

Carl Jung saw what happens when individuals disappear into the crowd. What he couldn’t see was how easily that crowd could be engineered.

Today, it fits in your pocket.

This is about digital mobs, responsibility, and the erosion of individual conscience.
