Recently, I turned forty, and I found myself, unwillingly, associating more with those who look backward more than they look forward. It's a world of surveillance, which we often dare to reject on grounds of rights or politics, yet we haven't come close enough to its social and moral impact, nor have we spoken enough about the distortions that affect its nurturing society. Otherwise, how did most of us become more like watchers and adhere to its logic? In a society where surveillance transcends its physical existence as an administrative apparatus, forming a dominant and oppressive culture in all details, it's difficult for one to adopt a position based on clear and named data, to test or discover one's beliefs. In the words of Henry Stil Comajor: "Surveillance creates a society that cannot be mature," and that's what we've become; a society of eternal minors; beings trapped in the "Lambo" of civil childhood, whose right to transform into fully grown citizens has been seized, sentenced to live outside the laws of influence and cultural influence, and therefore outside of history.
