Episode 4. Series based on Valery Fadeev’s book “Transforming Humanism“. Futurologists and Dostoevsky

Series of the Institute of Heritage and Modern Society of the Russian State University for the Humanities based on Valery Fadeev’s book “Transforming Humanism“. Episode 4 The centuries-long cycle of the European Western socio-cultural system has come to an end. The end of the cycle is accompanied by a deep crisis. What’s next? Now TikTok and other garbage has become a major trend, something that defines modern life. Distance education has become hugely popular in recent years. Now it is said that only a select few will receive a proper education, communicating with professors, interacting with other students. It is believed that the stratification of people into higher and lower castes is inevitable. The idea of control, essentially rationally unmotivated, begins to dominate the minds of the bureaucracy. This is a very dangerous tendency. The society in networks is fragmenting into many small groups, these groups are closing in on themselves, practically not interacting with each other. The world seems much simpler to them than it really is. One of the fashionable images of the future is promoted by transhumanism. Its adherents believe that there are many technical possibilities that will allow to improve a human being, starting from artificial organs, ending with the fusion of the brain with a supercomputer, up to the achievement of immortality. An unconditional basic income is considered to be one of the indispensable features of the future. What they are trying to impose on us, isn’t it a tyranny?
