Every Light Knows Something - Sati & TARS | Hayek in Synthwave (Official Lyric Video)

EVERY LIGHT KNOWS SOMETHING: Friedrich Hayek's "The Use of Knowledge in Society" (1945) as a synthwave night drive through a city of a million lit windows. No single mind can hold the whole: every window knows something no planner can collect. When a tin mine far away runs dry, the price ticks up like a small red light, and strangers who never learn why start using a little less. The second verse remembers The Road to Serfdom (1944), with its signposts instead of commands, the long years out of fashion and the Nobel prize in Stockholm in 1974; the bridge borrows his Nobel lecture: be the gardener, not the craftsman.
