In today's episode, we delve into the concept of the Panopticon prison, a revolutionary design by philosopher Jeremy Bentham that envisioned a system where prisoners would be under constant surveillance, not knowing when or if they were being watched. This form of control, using the perception of constant monitoring, has evolved from the walls of prisons to the fabric of modern society, from CCTV cameras to online surveillance. What are the psychological effects of living under the watchful eye? How does constant surveillance shape behavior, freedom, and society itself?
Join us as we unpack the far-reaching implications of a world where the boundaries of privacy and control are increasingly blurred.
