BIG DAY OF REFLECTION ON NOVEMBER 24 AT THE BOOK HOUSE

November 24: General disconnection!

The Political Movement of Growth Objectors, the newspaper  Kairos and the Maison du Livre, with the support of Technologos, invite to a day of reflection.

The technophile propaganda occupies our daily life through advertising in the media and political speeches. It is impossible to escape it, difficult to make a discordant voice heard on the myth of the digital « benefactor and dispenser of progress ». As the public debate on this question is insufficient for the moment, it is crucial to discuss the choices of society, the one we would like, the one we refuse, and thus to reveal the social, democratic, ecological, sanitary and human impact of the « all-digital » that globalized capitalism imposes on us without an ounce of democracy. In this picture, transhumanism appears as a movement still relatively unknown, and yet very active, both in concrete projects financed with billions of dollars and in the ideology it promotes and which insidiously shapes the minds. This day is for any citizen who is curious to understand what is coming and is motivated by the future of our societies, civilization and species.
