Why Do Shoes Get Creases

say freedom as a condition of exercising power

"Perhaps a term such as leadership advertises well just by virtue of his double meaning to what is specific to record to the balance of power." Leader "at the same time, the activity of 'leader' and the other [...] way of self- performance in a more or less open Field of possibilities. Exercise of power is in the 'Run of the guides' and in the creation of probability. The reason is power Wengi the nature of the confrontation between two adversaries or the obligation of one over the other as the 'government'. You have to let this word, the very wide meaning it in the 16th Century had. It was not only to political structures and the management of states, but described the manner in which the conduct of individuals or groups was drawn: Government of the children, the souls of the communities, the families of the sick. It did not cover and is set only from legitimate forms of political or economic subjection, but also more or less considered and calculated behaviors that were intended to influence the action potential of other individuals. To govern is in this sense to structure the field of possible actions of others. The power its own money as would therefore be neither on the side of violence and struggle, even on the part of the contract and will band (which can possibly be their instruments) to look, but on the part of this unique, neither warlike nor juridical way of acting: the directing acting government.
If one defines the exercise of power as a way of influencing the actions of others when they are through the 'governance' - in the broadest sense of that word - the people among features, take an important element into it: that of freedom. Power is only 'free subjects' exercise, and only where this 'free' are "

Duplicating A Cubase Dongle

yes to desire as a government technology

. Desire - an old term that had its presence and its application in the conscience guide [...], the desire now has a second appearance in the interior of power and techniques of government. All individuals act on the basis of desire. One of desire, against which one can do anything. [...] not try to change it, the leaves are changing, but not -. and at this point that characterizes Natura quality of desire of the population and is permeable to the governmental technology - this desire is to return for reasons to be and are one of the major theoretical elements to the whole system, this desire is such that, when it leaves the possibility of the development, within certain limits and thanks to a certain number of references and links as a whole, the general benefit to the population produces. [...] The production of the collective interest by the play of desire. This also marks the Natura quality of the population and the possible artificiality of the funds to a are given to manage them. "

The idea populations to manage based on the quality of desire Natura
"[...] the old ethical juridical conception of the government and the exercise of sovereignty is completely contrary. [...] The Sovereign one who is capable to say no to the desire of every individual, the problem is to know how this is the desire of individuals opposed 'no' legitimate and on the will of the individuals themselves can be established. [...] The problem of those who govern, it must be absolutely not to know how to say no, how far can they say no, with what justification they can say no. The problem is to know how to say yes to this desire. So do not limit the concupiscence or the limitation of self-love within the meaning of love must of itself, but rather all that, this self-love, this desire in such a stimulating and encouraging that they produce in fact the beneficial effects that they produce necessarily. "

" There is no set of juridical entities, either individually or collectively, with a sovereign will. The population is a combination of elements, inside which one can find constants and regularities to the events inside, inside of which you can locate the universality of the desire which regularly brings all the benefits and for which one can identify a number of variables on which it depends and which are likely to modify it "
