W/ Liz using the c-word (cybernetics)…. I am Once Again Asking for a cybernetics episode, in any wave or form but given the Californian angle of the pod I feel like stewart brand/whole earth catalog is a good target but they could also do the 90s Warwick wave e.g. nick land. Crazy ass ideology to talk ab. I know I know true anon is not a history pod cast but they have been cooking with their 20th century histories

cybernetics is honestly one of the hardest topics to grasp given that it originates from MIT math heads building weapons, you basically have to digress into Claude Shannon and information theory, you probably need to dive into the metaphysics of electrical engineering, then it expands and metastasizes into an ideology in Rand corp. military planning, and then seeps into the subculture/theory worlds.
