government (or our enemies) behave. We are, ina sense, being engineered by the damn opaque systems we are using. In 1965 the MIT computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum found himself, somewhat unexpectedly, considering this same problem. 175 Weizenbaum had written a primitive computer program to perform what is now k
