Capitalism is shifting to technologism

In 2008, the media announced the economical crisis, and the sign of the end of capitalism.
In 2010, smartphones became popular. People no longer had the patience to go home to have the Internet, and became addicted, sometimes a tragic way, to a useless, inhumane, cold technology.

This is it : capitalism is not dead, it has evolved into technologism. But this time, there is good news : technologism lets good people live in peace.

What is technologism ?

From what we can see now, let us give some characteristics of this system :

• Knowledge, instead of money, is the new source of power ;
• The Big Data, instead of the Capital, is the new dominating mind ;
• Speed, instead of money, is the new trap for selfish people ;
• Good sense, instead of love, is the new virtue of selfless people ;
• Technologism has two faces : eco-technologism, or country-technologism, based on technological autonomy, and ego-technologism, or urban-technologism, based on technological slavery.

On one side, the people of the land, living in autonomy. On the other side, the people of the city, living in slavery.

Within capitalism, if someone paid you, you could not socially refuse. But within technologism, you always have A RIGHT OF DENIAL.

What does it mean ?

Let's take a simple example. Imagine you are surfing in the European web. You may run into something like this :

This Internet page is a sorter. The shepherd (the master), sorts, on one side, the sheep (the slaves who say YES), and on the other side, the wolves (the free humans who say NO). This is the right of denial.

Looking for efficiency, the shepherd will ignore the wolves, too wild, and focus on the easy preys, in other words, the sheep.

In my opinion, offline life is a treasure, because this is the only place where you can have a private life. Sometimes we'd better give up the screens and open a book, go to a pub and talk to a real person. This is today's wisdom.

The pub may be watched, but the human heat you will find there opens freer, warmer paths, with the ability to touch somebody, to eat something together, and get an intense pleasure of real social relationship.

Capitalism is shifting to technologism. Hopefully, there is good news with it :

WE HAVE A RIGHT OF LOVE AND FREEDOM.

Internet storm !

John — Hey Bob, it looks like a full storm.
Bob — Are you sure, John ?
John — Yes I am. Things that used to work normally, don't work anymore. Do you know what it means, Bob ?
Bob — Yes, I do. We've gotta find a good protection against Internet storms.

Hi everyone. As you maybe noticed, things do not happen normally in the Internet since the end of 2018. Things that used to be easy and natural, don't work anymore.

Besides, it looks like that poor countries are finally rising. Slowly, deeply, the creation comes today from poor countries.

Let me explain you something. Many people think that quality of life is related to money.
This is false. Money is quantity, not quality. And we cannot have both quality and quantity.

Take a look to the following diagram. This is the European map for the quantity of water received per person.

The essence of water is love. And love is the absolute power of creation. In other words, as we are coming back to the natural economy, Greece is getting more quality of life than Germany ! :-)

In other words : dry and urban deserts are shit. Countries like Colombia or Nigeria are deeply becoming better, contrary to rich, urbanized countries, which are in crisis.

People of the city, who fear Nature, will be punished with the hell of technological slavery. People of the countryside, who love Nature, will be rewarded with the paradise of technological autonomy. That's all.

I will ask an informatician to repair my computer. In the future, I plan to make an article about how to surf on the Internet, a kind of "Internet license" documentation. And maybe we will have our standards against the Internet storms ! :-)

Presentation

Hi everyone,

in 2009 after a series of deep-thinking e-mails, I launched my blog L'étoile du marin. Star of the sailor, the blog where you are, is the international sequel of what I made there.

Philosophy, arts, sciences... you will never get annoyed thanks to the richness of the subjects. From aesthetics to opinion, passing through the most reliable information, I'm sure you will find something here to develop your mind.

The title is a metaphor : ideals are like stars for the sailors : we cannot reach them, but they show the way to follow.

Feel free to comment, and express yourself. I believe in democracy, debate, and collective intelligence. Criticism is OK, as long as you are doing something constructive.

Together, with the power of Love and Chaos, let's destroy the old world, and create a new world, based on ευνομία : the cosmic harmony.
