I'm so, so glad to see Cybersyn getting some attention. Modern technologists have fully internalized capitalism. Beyond it, they have no vision or dream. Cyberneticians like Stafford Beer are the complete opposite -- they dreamt big dreams. Personally, I'm super cybenetics-pilled (and cybersyn-pilled), but you don't have to be to recognize how much bigger and better their dreams were 50 years ago than Silicon Valley's are today.
