The text criticizes the collapse of Western modernity, which was founded on an anthropocentric device, a colonial and extractive mode that placed "Man" (specifically white, bourgeois, and Western) as the master of nature. This crisis manifests itself in the extinction of species and the emergence of complexity, where autonomous processes of nature and technology itself resist reduction by human will. In the digital age, the third anthropological revolution, the critique focuses on algorithmic colonization. This elevates digital logic to a metaphysics that threatens the singularity of the living. The living, unlike the modular and infinite machine, is totalizing, operates within limits, and its essence is not primarily informational. Human thought is seen as participation in a collective and cultural combinatorics, and not mere software. It is urgent to defend this organic and cultural otherness that the one-dimensional code cannot capture.
