  • Cybernetics - The Machine's Danger and Wiener's Warning
    2026/04/16
    Host Felix Mercer explores Norbert Wiener's final warnings about cybernetics and artificial intelligence. Discover how the father of feedback systems predicted today's AI alignment problems in 1950, why machines optimizing for measurable goals produce dangerous outcomes, and what cybernetic theory reveals about our diminishing control over complex technological systems.

  • Cybernetics - Order Without a Commander
    2026/04/16
    Host Felix Mercer explores how complex systems—from rainforests to immune systems to cities—achieve order without central command. Drawing on cyberneticians like William Ross Ashby and Stafford Beer, the episode examines self-organization, requisite variety, and Beer's Viable System Model, including Project Cybersyn in 1970s Chile, revealing why distributed feedback outperforms hierarchical control.

  • Cybernetics - The Loop That Governs Everything
    2026/04/16
    Felix Mercer explores feedback loops—circular information flows that allow systems to sense, compare, and adjust. From thermostats to nervous systems to economies, these loops govern everything. Drawing on Norbert Wiener's cybernetics work, this episode reveals the universal architecture of control connecting machines, organisms, and societies.
