More troubling still is that in the field of the study of emotions, there is no consensus among researchers about what an emotion actually is. What emotions are, how they are formulated within us and expressed, what their physiological or neurobiological functions could be, their relation to stimuli, even how to define them – all of this in its entirety remains stubbornly unsettled.

“[T]he artificial intelligence industry’s expansion has been publicly subsidized: from defense funding and federal reseach agencies to utilities and tax breaks to the data and unpaid labor taken from all who use search engines or post images online. AI began as a major public project of the twentieth century and was relentlessly privatized to produce enormous financial gains for the tiny minority at the top of the extraction pyramid”.

Maintaining an efficient and disciplined workforce in the early factory necessitated new systems of surveillance and control. One such invention... was the inspection house... the inspiration for the famous panopticon, a design for a model prison featuring a central watchtower from which guards could supervise the prisoners in their cells. The panopticon began as a workplace mechanism well before it was conceptualized for prisons.

In 1985, Kate Bush created the music video to her song "Cloudbusting." In the video, Bush wears a knitted cardigan made from the c. early 1940s Bestway 1491 "Fair Isle Cardigan" pattern. It is not known who knit the cardigan, or if it was made in the 1940s or in the 1980s.
The original Bestway pattern (to fit a 36"-38" full bust) has been scanned and put online for free on the 1940's Style For You blog.
The designer Susan Crawford has also created a modernized, size inclusive version (28"-60" full bust) called "Cloudbusting" as part of her Stitch in Time, Volume 3 book. The pattern is available to purchase here on Ravelry.
