So many good thoughts here. Under technocratic managerialism not of our choosing, function decides us and we confuse this with our own self-actualization.

I think this "function" idea really is the base logic of how technocracies operate and, more generally, how capital operates. And given that capital's runaway complexity continues with relentless speed -- as it runs away from us toward its own destiny, the Singularity -- it will continue to beat us over the head with its anti-human functional frame until something is built outside of its totalizing logic.
