This guy read Foucault's discussion about the panopticon and took it as instructions. Ugh.
The panopticon was originally designed as a prison, so effectively Ellison is saying, "wouldn't the world be great if everyone were in prison?"
Good news, everyone! We've finally built the Torment Nexus from the famous book Don't Build the Torment Nexus.
