Blind Spot

"The natural blind spot is due to lack of receptors (rods or cones) where the optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eye. Blindness is absence of seeing. It may be experienced as blackness, or very differently it may be nothing." (с) Scholarpedia.

Contemporary society provides the state with the right to exercise force or violence through various structures and control systems: the police, the army, special services, prisons and medical institutions. This right is exclusive and legitimate.

If you look closely at the hidden areas of the state's power machinery, sometimes you can see things that go beyond the laws, ethics and humanity. These are legal gaps, zones of indistinguishability that arise at different times in different countries, when there is insufficient control by society. The manual recognition of protestors and their handwriting is replaced by big data and artificial intelligence, but the repressive nature of these actions remains the same.

The logic of the action of power can not be foreseen. Its unpredictability and changeability remains the main difficulty for the possible resistance and functioning of a free society. What was possible yesterday, today can be a crime. Uncertainty generates fear and self-censorship that fetter, squeeze and block at the stage of thought.

In the "Blind Spot" there are extreme manifestations of power: violence, torture, psychological pressure, mass killings. The fragility and vulnerability of the human body are exposed to unlimited power. This is a dark puzzle of the perfect system of suppression and fear.
