A disciplinary tool that aims to maximise social control. 👁
⛓
It relies on the idea that in a system where there is one central observing authority, and many individual entities under observation, the observed will never fully know when they're being watched. So they'll end up self-regulating and complying.

Inspired by prison design, but super applicable to our current online privacy, and totalitarian government surveillance 🔍

Our false sense of belief in delegating to authority tricks us when it comes to risk calculation 🚷

e.g. When automobiles were legally required to have seatbelts, the ratio of fatalities went down in accidents, but most people started driving more rashly thinking their seat belts were enough to protect them, and consequently the number of accidents actually increased. Paradoxically, this offset the decreased fatality rate.

Named after Cassandra, daughter of Priam - King of Troy. She was gifted prophesy and foresight by Apollo since he was so enamored by her. However she shunned his advances and was then cursed that nobody could ever believe her warnings, ensuring that events couldn't be altered and would come true.

In real life, Cassandras are those people who can see where a situation is headed, but are not believed 🤷
