https://rsmyth.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/energonomics-and-morphogenesis
8 July 2009 at 1:03 am. I recently read through a couple of essays by Manuel DeLanda, whose writing I find to be some of the most lucid in terms of explicating the difficult concepts and style of Gilles Deleuze.

8220;Mind Control” as Energonomics. 28 June 2007 at 8:56 am. When I speak of “mind control” I do not refer to paranoid theories of government agents who have the ability of mad scientists to control the minds of others. I mean. In which he develops a theory of how we think. One of his ideas is that we have “Critic-Selectors” who can select certain kinds of thinking (i.e. emotional states) in order to solve a problem.
