What I take from Foucault is political technology and docile bodies. He's half of my Augmented Intelligence frame. I also quote him against the juridical picture of power, the one where power is mostly about law.
How the word moved
In March 2025 I used him against the juridical superstructure of the rules-based order. In April and May 2026 I came back to him for militaries as political technologies - his point being that the military was itself a political technology.
In my words
"Foucault’s point was that the military didn’t just use technology."
