The notion of "system" is as much unfiltered cybernetic/behaviorist
ideology as it is undisputed, building the foundation of all discourses
from general systems theory to contemporary media studies. A critique of
idealism (Platonist as much as Pythagorean) finally needs to include a
critique, and rejection, of "system" as a fiction disguised as
science/engineering. While it might have some value as speculative
(science) fiction in the past, the blatant reductionism and control
fantasies behind it have become too obvious; viz. the collapse of
cybernetics around 1969 - history repeating itself.
