| Sumario: | There are three great existential challenges for the human being in the present time: transhumanism, transgender discourse and digitalism. These three phenomena are enormously powerful today because they are driven by two overwhelming forces which, however, tend to collide opposing each other. On the one hand, they are encouraged by a demand for justice and emancipation, which seeks to end deeply rooted forms of discrimination and to seek effective equality among all human beings. On the other hand, they are sustained on a philosophical basis that denies the intelligibility of reality and the teleological condition of human existence, proposing instead, as the only guide to orient human life, the hegemony of individual desire. Contemporary capitalism has made the satisfaction of this desire its reason for being. And it does so by developing a technology potentially capable of satisfying an unlimited desire. This technological development is based on the reduction of reality to numbers, to mathematics. It is the most sophisticated expression of capitalism because, far from producing opposition in its victims, it generates complete adherence. The inevitable consequence is that advances in justice are swallowed up by the logic of techno-capitalism. Demands for justice end up being the make-up of new forms of (self) exploitation. |
