More recently, Geyer[32] remarks that "a new type of **powerlessness** has emerged, where the core problem is no longer being unfree but rather being unable to select from among an **overchoice of alternatives for action, whose consequences one often cannot even fathom"**. Geyer adapts cybernetics to alienation theory, and writes[33] that powerlessness is the result of **delayed feedback**: "The more complex one's environment, the later one is confronted with the **latent, and often unintended, consequences** of one's actions. Consequently, in view of this **causality-obscuring time lag**, both the 'rewards' and 'punishments' for one's actions increasingly tend to be viewed as random, often with apathy and alienation as a result".
