Human as a mean of production, by ex-nazi 21. cc Malthus, Norbert Wiener, a
good friend of von Hayek. Wiener is guilty of plagrimism and assimilating
work of Alexander Bogdanov, and put it in service of the builders of the
panotpticon during the cold war:

"This is one of the fundamental documents of our time, a period
characterized by the concepts of 'information' and 'communica­tions'.
Norbert Wiener, a child prodigy and a great mathematician, coined the term
'cybernetics' to characterize a very general science of 'control and
communication in the animal and machine'. It brought together concepts from
engineering, the study of the nervous system and statistical mechanics
(e.g. entropy). From these he developed concepts that have become pervasive
through science (especially biology and computing) and common parlance:
'in­ formation', 'message', 'feedback' and 'control'. He wrote, 'the
thought of every age is reflected in its technique . . . If the seventeenth
and early eighteenth centuries are the age of clocks, and the later
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries constitute the age of steam engines,
the present time is the age of communication and control.' "
