1.“Freedom lost is not by accident, but as the output of a system designed to curb liberty. My message is that we must redesign that system, to produce freedom as an output.”(P.99 The free man in cybernetic world) Why system must redesign ? If system redesign, the third country will be not treat oppressively ? If one country are stronger than other, they would not care about the system. It is all about choice not a systems.

2.The author use salesman to illustrate what is “the amplification of regulatory” , also he said that “ The point is that our variety attenuators are built into the system. Freedom of choice has gone down this particular drain.” (P.25, 26 The disregarded tools of modern man) He points out that the computer, teleprocessing and techniques of the science are a tool to make variety amplification.
Is computer really helps people have more freedom in the society or we manipulate by technology such as computer or other techniques of science ?

3.“As a result of these, essentially cybernetic, sub-theoretical developments, many architects wanted to design systems but, on the whole, they were expected to design buildings. To a large extent this is still (quite reasonably) true. All the same, there is a sense in which the brief given to an architect has widened during the last decades.” and “Gaudi did so using physically static structures”. (P.495, 496 The architectural relevance of cybernetics)
Gaudi is not only designed a system but also designed a building. I was wondering what the differences are between Gaudi and Santiago Calatrava ? Sometime I felt they are old and new, quite slimily but not the same.
