Captivating Technology — The New Jim Code and the Architecture of Algorithmic Control

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.This episode explores Captivating Technology, edited by Ruha Benjamin, as a systems-level analysis of carceral technoscience.The discussion examines how institutions increasingly rely on data extraction, predictive systems, surveillance infrastructure, and algorithmic governance to manage populations. Viewed structurally, the deeper issue is not whether technology contains bias, but how historical inequalities become embedded within technical systems that appear objective.The analysis explores incentive structures, institutional persistence, feedback loops, hidden system dynamics, and the paradox of visibility that determines who becomes visible to surveillance and who remains invisible to design.📺 Watch on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/R2wcGipjArM❤️ Support on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/captivating-new-160638394?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkAuthor SupportIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
