Total control is impossible in the analogue world, but possible in the digital one
Total control is impossible in the analogue world. Although the state is the information platform that turns humans into individuals and makes a meaningful life possible, and thus knows all of its citizens processing because it is a necessary part of each single one of their actions, it has no consciousness, purpose or will of its own—it is omnipresent but not omnipotent. The government, on its part, aims to be omnipotent through control of the state; however this will always be an elusive and unattainable objective for it. In other words, in the analogue world anyone can act and (at most) that action can be, in principle, prohibited or assessed after the fact—but there is no way to control its occurrence in the first place.
