Digitalism: An Emerging Post-Modern System

The article discussed thoroughly the new philosophy termed as “Digitalism” while comparing it with capitalism and communism. Digitalism is based on the basic concept that, the things, people and their immediate environment would interact without the supervision of the human beings and the system would generate the necessary outcome effectively and efficiently and even better than the previous systems like capitalism and communism (all their forms). The article elaborated the three dimensions of that philosophy including economic, social and political. Economically, the capitalist system has to suffer immensely due to the huge imbalance in the fundamental equation- major unemployment and massive cut in the consumption. Hence, two labor employment centers world labor employment (WLEs) and world immigration center (WIs) along with WUIF (World Universal Income Fund) must be created in order to provide maximum opportunities to all the global population without the limitations of their nationality and border. Socially, a dynamic social society would come to the fore where people might not be able to link with each other due to their fixed profession but, a jack of all trades phenomenon is going to prevail. Hence, three classes, an ultra-rich techno-corporate businessmen (techno-bourgeoisie), techno-experts (as similar to nobles in older centuries) and general workers/freelancers (working for multiple industries at the same time) would emerge as a result of these developments. Politically, intellectocracy through its philosophical lens of Szellemiism, that emphasizes on giving more political rights to intellectuals than to non-intellectuals and thereby allowing the most-wise and sound individuals to govern effectively and efficiently, will not only play a major role state-wise but by that means contribute significantly towards the global socio-economic and political stability. Hence, Digitalism through its core “Data” centered approach will create a new post-modern society in which, physical and digital lives would be merged in an inseparable way.
