and who will come? First of all he became too angry otherwise then he was born abroad that's the first time the real hero saint who came ridsen and who wants to break up there he controls his mood first beforeください the first man who comes to rest going on Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! The End We will humanity the world ah ah

ah Words, words, words, words I have no words to describe the vanity of life the insane in anity of life I have no words, but uh mid-Gryman's limewy Why waste our time, stroving some spinos a monograph, even one short Shakespeare ever taught, they make me laugh. But wait, it just occurred to me a word that may just possibly apply to all of us to wrap up this ball of dust, two tiny syllables, but small syllables, one single word absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd.

It's worth to laugh. For more. What? Don't make me laugh. Don't make me ten down. All you just chat, all pills are bitter, nothing to trust in this worst of all possible world, all it's industed, this worst of all possible worlds. In quest, jungle, don't ask for help, they use us anyhow. Were you in my position, friend, were you a humble sleeper? Your thoughts on man's condition, friend, would be a little deeper. If every blessed day my friend were done in bold and spindle, for you to clear away my friend, to change your mind a little, yes done in bold and spindle, and modern trash and blood and ash, and souvenirs of Allah, and every sort of residue in process of reductions, of final state of dust, you laugh alone, but be my friend.

Do laugh until you laugh. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Yeah. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

They call you ecstasy nothing ever sticks to you Not ill grown, not scotch tape, not my arms dipped in glue Not if I ram myself an nylon, a piece of duct tape down my back Love gives the arrow with the twelve and I can't get you back Ecstasy Ecstasy Ecstasy Ecstasy

Ecstasy Ecstasy Ecstasy Some men call me Santa Ivory, some call me Samo Reese I'm smooth as alabaster with white veins running through my cheeks A big stud through my eyebrow, a scar on my arm that says Domain I put it over the tattoo that contained your name They call you ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy They call you ecstasy, ecstasy

The moon passing through a crowd, a body facing up is floating towards a crowd And I think of a time, and what I couldn't do, I couldn't hold you close I couldn't, I couldn't become you, they call you ecstasy I can't hold you down, I can't hold you up I feel like that car that I saw today, no radio, no engine, no hood I'm going to the cafe, I hope they got music, and I hope that they can play But if we have to part, I'll have a new sky rug over my heart I'll call it ecstasy Oh ecstasy Ecstasy Ecstasy Ecstasy

Ecstasy Ecstasy Ecstasy Welcome back to the Santiago Boys, I'm Yvgeny Marosef, and I'll be your host In our last episode, we witnessed a massive strike that almost paralyzed the whole country

And we saw our own Santiago Boys using the seminatic skills to make it go away Also witnessed Salvador Aéende preparing for a coup, ecu that he knows is coming But the Rio of Sainte-Brenardic hope does appear in the horizon, at anyone The operations room, the centerpiece of Roger Cibertson, is almost ready But could it save Aéende's government? How? And what about Stafford Beer, the visionary behind it all? He doesn't know the ad, but he's about to become the target of vicious attacks in the media They'll even accuse him of building a cybernatic big brother All of this and more soon, stay with us The strike may be over, but Aéende still got a crisis on his hands His nation is struggling and he's looking for a way out So he travels the globe, hoping to find some friends and funds That's how he makes that stop at the old of Astoria and the United Nations

But despite the surprising speech in New York, it's mostly at that then for Aéende That's where he flies to the Soviet Union He's hoping for a lifeline of some kind Perhaps the Soviets will understand Aéende's flight Don't they see that the U.S., the Cold War enemy, has been undermining the chillin' democracy for years? Can the Soviets see that Chile is just another version of Vietnam? Okay, a silent Vietnam perhaps as Aéende wants memorable to put it But still, all the suffering and all the concerted effort by the United States against it surely there are similarities The expectations for this trip do run very high But will Aéende find what he needs in Moscow? Will the Soviet Union bail him out? Or will he be disappointed there too? As the Chilean journalist Alfredo Sipulveda notes, things don't go exactly as planned there So he goes to the Soviets and basically the Soviets tell him the Hartzschule

And the Hartzschule says that they don't believe in the project that they think that the government was not going to last And that there's no money for him So Aéende returns to Chile at feeling bitter and disillusioned And every imagine they would do this to me, he tells a collaborator, even describing Moscow stands as a stab in the back At long last, as he returns to Santiago, some good news finally awaits him there The countdown to the launch of Project Cyber since Operations Room has now begun, it's almost ready Perhaps it will help during a future crisis? Some more cake, paper and tape methods when managing the next strike When Aévent comes and come it will, at least that's what everyone in Santiago is thinking The deadline for the rooms opening approaches and with it the realization that it still doesn't have an address

Unfortunately it seems like anyone with real estate space to spare also has a serious grudge against Aéende Predictedly, Raúl is back as Alex is to staffer at getting more frantic by the day By then Raúl is the person coordinating all of cyber scenes activities on the ground in Santiago November 10th, the Operations Room is a puzzle We have all its pieces ready, but problems arose with the structure November 14th, site we have selected failed completely Owner refused to deal with government enterprises It took her a fortnight to decide so We are now looking for new site at the Catholic University campus And that America, El Jhani-Oruistagle, one of the Santiago boys from Corfo and the member of Mapo, the political party, discovers the perfect location for it With his connections and a little bit of luck, El Jhani-Oru manages to persuade some right-wing building owners to lose it to intact

Remember that name, El Jhani-Oruistagle, he'll have quite a tragic role in our story later on As Stafford outlines his vision for the room, his crystal clear about one thing He wants it to feel more like a club than a boardroom But his initial instructions leave Gibbon-Sieb a bit perplexed He mentioned the term, Ops Room, and Operation Room, I did not know this team when at that time In armies, in general, they have the Operation Room for devising how they want to attack a defense or not These connotations of the war environment, I did not like very much So the British War Room is one of the inspirations here But it's definitely not the only one It seems that Stafford also wants to mix it with a local version of the Athenium club If we got the idea from Stafford beer, he wanted a kind of club comfortable atmosphere

So we made this kind of seats, plastic seats with cushions and a swivel's curtain around He did not want a table there inside He wanted the meeting of people which always face each other Well, at the table you have all the priorities, position on the top of the table And in the circle you never have it According to Gabriel Rodriguez, the Operation Room is a work of art and its own right The place was very elegant But something smooth like a church you entered, it was silent We were not accustomed to that, this was something more European For Gabriel, the Operation Room is like a seven-erick playground for the grown-ups Complete with buttons that are both mysterious and mesmerizing You have this triangle, a circle, a square and a star And by sensation when I was sitting there and saying, this is a game or something like for children

But don't be fooled by this high-tech facade This room was more old school than artisanal cheese Unfortunately, we did not have the digital resources available at that time So everything had to be done by hand in Kraft's procedure Stafford gives his blessing to the finished product So there there are no paper, there is an estuary, there is room for a drink And there is a place for a creative session This room is in fact full of wonders People in the room are meeting to discuss with everything moving on it, flashing lights And you may be able to see scenarios Right up the middle of the diagram, those are flashing on and off to show that an algebraic signal is in fact emanating from the third box from the bottom If you think here can take us to another world Among them is a display screen showing photos from Chilean factories

And Marvel was a history as captivating as the images it shows It all began with a trip to Davos, yes Davos At the very first edition of a hood later became the famous world economic forum So while in Davos, Stafford beer, then still a prominent management theorist, encounters an intriguing computer installation It's a sort of simulation game which shows photos to those playing it as we have alerting them to the consequences of their actions And this computer installation would stay with Stafford long after he left this with mountains A year or so later it would inspire him to add this screen showing factory photos to this very room in Santiago That's the weird nature of I am this high-tech socialism Somehow it boldly mixes Davos luxury with Santiago grid, all by way of a British management consultant

When I am the visitor of the Santiago boys, I can observe her so that she is every move A role of speckle is there He arrived there with plenty of time and was very relaxed sitting in one of the chairs And asking questions about what were the different screens about Fernand Flores is there as well He notes that the good politician that he was, I end up must have seen some rather non-conventional users for this room I really, I really have seen politics, not like the next position, good idea that I can show them and do them Not only politics, I am doing something else, I really, that idea crossed its mind This delightful cybernetic oasis is quite a slap in the face to the US ambassador Two years earlier the ambassador declared that, and I am quoting here, not a natural ball would be allowed to reach Chile under a yanda

And look at all these fancy screens, projectors, chairs, keyboards, all of them are here These Santiago boys are the ones having the last laugh here A few days after I end this visit, I visit that he missed because he already laughed for the UK Stafford is a bundle of nerves He is living to have missed out on the action of course, but more importantly he is fretting over how he will get paid for the cybercing gig You see, Corpus New York bank accounts have been frozen, which is not that surprising, given Nixon's invisible black aid against the country Stafford is just last to ponder who is going to pick up the tap for all his hard work Things are looking pretty black as he sends a talc to Raul Dismayed about cash situation If I come as planned must finance own trip

Add to this cost existing debt and missing January income and it means I have to raise 3,000 pounds You know that reserves would run down last year for Chile's sake, so the problem is quite difficult It does not breed confidence, what do you expect me to do? His wife Sally might have been right The whole Chilean business could turn his reputation to ashes and even ruin his bank account Perhaps it's time to reconsider this Chilean engagement altogether And then there is more bad news Now we've got the observer, yes the famous newspaper, shaking things up with their headline Chile run by computer and people can't stop talking about this article The story will make it into the CIA's press digest Some of the agency must have taken an interest in this project The article presents cyberc in as a groundbreaking economic initiative

Noting that it's cloaked in secrecy and with the journalist describes it It's like something straight out of a dystopian novel with all the hallmarks of big brother The good news is that Stafford, with his extensive business experience, knows how to handle the media He's got a strategy in place already and it all starts with his colleagues in Santiago going on the offensive They just need to get some photos of workers in those ergonomic chairs They need to make a bold move and bring the story to light They have to be completely public about it There is nothing big brother issue about it even remotely But to Stafford's disappointment, things don't quite pen out this way The observer might as well be a fly buzzing around Santiago for all the attention it's getting among the government officials After all, Flores and I end up half taking their fair share of hits in the media And given the unpopularity of I end this government abroad, they keep coming

For them such a story is no big deal But for Stafford, things are different and it's easy to see why If you're trying to build a consulting career, working for Big Brother is not exactly a resume booster And Pearl Stafford has to make ends meet somehow To this day Raúl Espejo regrets not doing more to burnish the project's reputation He would have preferred that we actually came in his defense and that we were talking about these things But I end this got bigger fish to fry than worrying about media attacks His business cooling chill and workers who just can't grasp the brilliance of his leadership He even moves the government to a textile factory for a few days The Sabers in team is also an attendance, eager to showcase their project Unfortunately, I end this remarks have everyone too preoccupied to focus on cybernatics I end the encourages the workers to take a wider perspective

Is it worth pursuing higher wages if it ultimately leads to the downfall of his government? There are still workers who don't understand their responsibility, it tells them They don't deserve to be called workers, that's what he says I end up resisting to remind them of the past, the past when the work was so alienating and boring But I didn't know enjoying their newfound creative powers Well, maybe they are, however, what good is creativity if it can't even buy them more wine than empanadas? As I end it himself has promised This seems increasingly improbable since inflation is ruining their paychecks And the workers are losing interest in this revolution It's easy to blame the minister in charge of course, but fortunately it's no longer our friend from Talka Fernando short-lived tenure as the economy minister lasting near two months However, he's then reassigned to live the ministry of finance

This move takes him even further away from the cybercine team He's now much more preoccupied with topics like inflation MediaTax and Cybercine had the list of his problems We have so many attacks, no one called me or he could have you doing this that people are telling this But I won't need to find one, no one, I have one, no second to deal with this issue Others have a more critical view of Fernando's reluctance to defend Cybercine Does he even need it now that he's a top government minister? Fernando would always be a terrorist No, I must see his dad as a lawyer According to his Italian advisor Mario Grande, Fernando enjoys the reputation of someone who always puts his own personal gain first He's simply part of who he is, he would even go against his own ideas if it benefits him And Cybercine, let us be clear, is mostly his idea Remember Carlos, the president of the president engineer, Stuck in London? Well, things are finally looking up for him

With this strike over and the coupsrat receiving, he's ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead He's finally made up his mind, he's going to Santiago to join Cybercine And Carlos is most excited about this prospect Of course, I took what we call the Liberty flight, going to Colombia, Peru and then Chile Trying to avoid the Brazilian airspace, who knows the plane might be a filler and land in Brazil, that would be awful His new co-workers couldn't have been happier, that desperate for skilled individuals who share their convictions And Carlos fits the bill perfectly Not anyone would join the project for the Unida Popular So they were starving of qualified people committed to the project and somehow politically motivated So they said, great, come on Carlos is a numbers guy, he watches over the vital signs of which factor in

The same signs that make up that pointy white flow chart that we discussed before Remember how Stafford was amazed by how these charts can teach complex concepts to the workers And how beautiful those charts look thanks to Gibbon's heap and his team Well, those charts don't just appear out of thin air The Cybercine engineers have to go to the factories, they talk to people there, they watch what they do And then they pick up to 10 indicators, indicators that would roughly describe what is really going on Then those indicators get monitored with software, computers, models, all of that And Carlos has to figure out if changes in those indicators, whether they're going up, down, so forth, means something that's worse worrying about Often, these changes might just be noise and statistical flux And that's precisely what Cybercine software will determine for sure

The media crisis triggered by the Observer article has of course made things much worse But Stafford refuses to let it bring him down He has big plans to enlighten the world about Cybercine And he's planning to do it during his upcoming lecture in Brighton, in the UK It promises to be a media event in its own right And to help him on his quest, he's reaching out to a powerful publication Who knows perhaps they will help him score some positive press I was writing for new scientists, this is a magazine, which is read by scientists and engineers and so on This is the worst of Joe Hanlon, a data technology editor at the magazine Trying to say to these people, science is not neutral Science is how you, what you choose to research, what you choose to develop and then how you choose to use it You have power He goes to see Stafford at his mansion right before the big lecture This was seen as a project to support the ending, which...
