The Inconsistency of Wiener's Cybernetic Principles

There's a kind of I guess like humanism that is residual in this text, which isn't really consistent with the cybernetic principles that he's advocating. He doesn't drink his own Kool-Aid quite enough. The part that's developed is anti-vitalism, you know what I mean? It's basically patterns all the way down. This conversation is carried out between a specific type of agent and it's always buzzing in the background. And I like bringing that to the fore.
