Entry 7: The Panopticon and the Utilitarian Paragon

Sara's philosophy lesson of the week is an embarrassingly affectionate ode to Jeremy Bentham, thoughts about surveillance, and an analysis on the American ability to self-govern. Note that this was filmed before former VP Joe Biden was projected to win the election, and though the United States is a bit less unstable than it was a few days ago, this lecture still applies. As I cross the aisle in my own way, I'd like to quote the words of the insufferably annoying Bill Maher: "no president can unite us - we need to unite ourselves".
