°°°°~x§x-<@> Abstract: This article traces the evolution of the concept of proletarianisation from its Marxist origins through Bernard Stiegler’s cognitive extension to its Scybernethical reformulation. We argue that proletarianisation is not merely economic exploitation but a fundamental anthropological process: the loss of knowledge — know-how and know-thinking — produced by the externalisation of human capacities …

Based …

°°°°~x§x-<@> Introduction In our fast-paced world, we’re constantly bombarded with information and decisions. How do we make sense of it all? In scybernethics, we explore this question by diving deep into the heart of what we call “com-putation,” a process that goes far beyond mere calculation. It’s an embodied, intuitive approach to meaning-making that involves …
