The mocking heterogeneity of rationalism
The parable of rationalism has historically had its consequentiality passing for example from the ideologies of the 20th century, to their collapse, to nihilism, up to today’s homologating solidarity which is stripping people of everything in the name of philanthropy.
In reality, it is and always is at the core of the domain of technology that empties people of an authentic, personal, research and therefore of a true exchange. Abstractions, mere doing, which at times have also conditioned the Christian faith in various ways.
I know good people, believers and non-believers alike, who have gone from the struggle for the liberation of the poor to the de facto service of finance and the powerful internet without realizing it. They didn’t even have to buy them, as may have happened for some politicians. They are simply the programmed fruit of the abstract rationalist seed. The domain of technology, foreseen for some time by certain philosophers and writers.
So wanting to get out of the domain of the system with a mere different way of doing paradoxically means consolidating the deep foundations of current power. It’s not the people but it’s the technique that always seems to overwhelm resistance in the end. Therefore, whether those who oppose the apparatus go to government can be decisive if they are open to a qualitative leap. Otherwise it risks becoming another of the many orientations and powers eventually engulfed by the system.
We need a leap in quality, free training, starting from school, in the freely sought identity and only then in authentic exchange with the others. Stimulates to overcome the abstractions of intellectualism to seek the lived ways of true growth.
If the falsely neutral technicalist culture prevails, man will be increasingly in competition with the robot which will be able to carry out its programmed work even better. If the human prevails then it will be possible to develop a fruitful complementarity between the person and the robot, full of rich developments, of opening new horizons. Perhaps it will be possible to reach the second hypothesis by passing from the collapse due to the first, if someone survives.
