Title
"The Virus, our Ally for Metahumanist Mutations"
Abstract
As the planet accelerates, via the pandemic, the preexisting tendency towards an algorithmic governmentality is urgent to overcome humanistic nostalgias of "saving humanity"; and transhumanistic dystopias of control. Through critical posthumanism and metahumanism I propose a triple move: red lines against surveillance, the planet's health as problem number one in global agendas, and a deep mutation toward less reductive ways of perceiving and moving.
