Already in his previous book phenomenology of the end, Franco Berardi described how computer acceleration was causing a mutation in human sensitivity that drastically reduced our affective and deliberation capacity. Without time and sufficient cognitive faculties to develop the complexity of the contemporary world, our actions are reduced to a series of pre-recorded automatisms by algorithms, and our economic relations cease to be the object of a political negotiation to be a consequence of financial domination. Jads between permanent war and global finance, between neoliberalism and the return of fascism, between mass unemployment and hyperactivity, seem unable to produce the radical change we need. Before this impotence panorama, is it still possible to imagine a new emancipatory vision?
The perspective of "futurability" emphasizes the multiplicity of potential future inscribed in the current conformation of the world. If today the deployment of events is presented as inevitable, it is because the capitalist code translates the dynamics of innovation to the logic of private accumulation. BIFO points out that in order to develop other immanent possibilities it is necessary to emancipate to the knowledge regarding the current economic paradigm and free the human time of the limitations of salaried work through technology. The redistribution of wealth, the end of the tyranny of finance and precariousness will only be possible when cognitive workers in the world, responsible for the current programming of social machinery, are capable of reprogramming it to serve the interests of the most. We can not change society in which they tried to do the political revolutions of modern history; What we can can build a cooperative technological platform that enables the awakening of the common consciousness of millions of engineers, artists and scientists in the world.
