Today, morning, when I opened the e-mail, my attention was caught by the title of an article: "Occupy the Skies! Protesters Could Use Spy Drones”
I was in a hurry, but did not resist a quick read. Ok, it was just one more article, but, for some reason, my brain “stubborned” in fixating in the title and some flow of thought, with passage by Orwell, Marx and Kant taking place, mixing, later on, with the “rigmalore” of the Sunday mass, transmitted by RTP1...
...I was about to change channel, when the Priest and the respective chorus/flock started asking God to take the “sacrifice of human reconciliation”. Of course, everyone that participated in the mass finalized with a singing “AMEN”.
The surpassing of the indignity constituted, not a joy - the dignity that should be celebrated-, but a sacrifice that a God, apparently, desiring of sacrifices, should accept.
The words of the Priest and the title of the article dragged me to Freud, Foucault and the discourses of power, with (re)course to the narcotizing dogmatic language, articulated by geostrategic calculations of BioPower towards effects of surveillance and respective control of the same power: the power to decide who lives and how who lives should live.
Our risk behaviors have led us to the management of the systemic collapse in the systemic collapse, without us having surpassed the insufficient predatory dynamics of the basic/trivial calculation, ever more alienated in technologies.
Others may occupy the “POWER”, but it will be, as it has been, along the course of the History of the AnimalHuman, more of the same, if we cannot achieve the surpassing of being more intelligent than we, effectively, are..., have been: if we lose, we will all lose, and we will drag with us all the others...
