Quote from wiki
The concept of the design is to allow an observer to observe (-opticon) all (pan-) prisoners without the prisoners being able to tell whether they are being watched, thereby conveying what one architect has called the "sentiment of an invisible omniscience."
Bentham himself described the Panopticon as "a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind, in a quantity hitherto without example."
See the bottom half semi circle thingy? Thats the view from above. the guard will stand in the middle (the innermost half circle) and the cells are allocated at the outermost half circle. Innermost half circle is like built outta this material whereby the prisoners cannot see the guard, so the prisoners dont know if the guard is there or not. Sometimes he may be, sometimes he may not be. Either way, they wont know so its like OOOOHHH
As the watchmen cannot be seen, they need not be on duty at all times, effectively leaving the watching to the watched.They have to assume that they are being watched at all times and this limits their freedom. So that got me thinking,
Isn't that kind of like God?
Anyone else who got the same thought in their heads when they read the earlier passage raise your hands!!! =D I mean, you dont know if theres a God and if he's watching or whatever, but either way, even if you dont believe hes there, you sort of limit yourself and discipline yourself so that you dont do anything too ... evil? just in case he IS real, he DOES exist and he IS watching and NOW YOU'RE GOING TO BURN IN THE FIERY FLAMES OF HELL AND GET STABBED WITH PITCHFORKS AND GET YOUR TONGUE CUT - ahem - sorry got carried away there.
Well anyway, like i said. Random.
