Draft_1
In the post-capitalist society, where the impossibility of antagonistic actors and the hope of future is lost, the ordinary experience is filtered through an expanded sense of anxiety, precarity and constant exploitation. This could be related to the reshaping of forces where physical labour has been substituted by cognitive labour, but actually machines as well can reproduce the non-physicality of cognition through software, reproposing labour as the augmented paradigm of internet, the work as a net, network. The machine's labour in the net's factory is characterized by infinite accelleration, projecting cognition even outside of human possibilities, into the realm of meta-data, where the eye is overwhelmed by the total negation of readability. The subject, already dividual in the realm of social networks, is again ripped from his native ground and taken into the next generation of software's layers, becoming the ultimate abstraction of itself, superjects, condividual.
Human cognition, which direction addresses the void of an inner 'nothingness', is increased by this diametrically opposed process of abstraction of the machine, but it draws a new unattainable event horizon, a new void where human consciousness is equally lost and where the only possible singularity is the artificial intelligence. Here the paradigms of an anti-capitalist resistance, in the form of work and class consciousness, are reverted in the fuzzy research of the AI and hopeness of the network as machine's work, condemning the whole human being to be a perennial subaltern class.
