If people are feeling being watched their actions change

At your risk. This is not physiatric advice.


Somehow it may create paranoia.


So if one believes the slogan Big brother is watching you (1984 - George Orwell) then it may be like somebody is watching you although nobody is watching you. You wrongly feel as if someone is watching you.


What is this post trying to say?


Perhaps that the book 1984 - George Orwel not predicted what might happen but tried to create what it tried to predict.


No wander it is a famous book. It serves a purpose in a society trying though fear (the system is afraid) to control a control system. See feedback control systems in electronic engineering.


But games are changing. The next famous book may be the Enchiridion - Epictetous which is doing the opposite. Teaching that fear does not even exist.


When a control feedback system stops being afraid it might as well be happy.


And leave us alone. Or we leaving it alone.
