That most people feel threatened by the Artificial Machine (AM), can only show how deep we have been driven into the hole. Our predisposition to be supplanted by what we are not, is all that was required to make an impossibly a fact. “A self which has become a matter of calculation and management has ceased to be a self”, said Tillich. “It has become a thing”. Worth reminding that this bears no relation with the Kyoto School understanding of a subject “becoming a thing” through the creative act. For them, this was transferred “from” the object, for the Artificial Machine, it is immediately “the object”. In a similar line, unsurprisingly, the Committee reminded us that capitalism is just the universal expansion of measurement. It cannot be anything else.
