Doc-Humanity

The rise of automation has brought about a technological and radical revolution that does not depend on people's beliefs. Machines can replace humans in few functions, but humans are still needed to produce value in the form of consumption. Recognizing this will enable us to conceive the "Webfare" - a new digital system that will teach us to find new names and forms, more tolerance and room for traditional human needs, and how to transform the time given to us by automation into an opportunity for progress.

The present time, regardless of one's perspective, heralds a new era, a new world, and a new humanity. Humanity itself is a fluid and ever-evolving concept, never fully defined and constantly in progress. Over the past several decades, we have witnessed a profound revolution, unlike any seen before. Unlike the political and ideological revolutions that occurred during the First World War, this revolution is primarily technological and far more radical. It does not rely on human beliefs but on the tireless efforts of machines. The rise of automation has brought to light a previously hidden aspect of human existence: the vast majority of functions, both material and spiritual, can be replaced by machines. While machines require energy, they can function without it, whereas humans cannot survive without it. It is possible to imagine machines creating symphonies but not experiencing the joy of music. Consequently, while human beings remain essential, their roles and responsibilities must be reevaluated. Workers may seem superfluous in the face of automation, but humans are still required, including those who previously identified solely as producers. The exclusion of workers from production does not diminish their ability to generate value through consumption. Recognizing this truth will empower us to envision the Webfare, a groundbreaking digital system designed to teach us how to discover new names, forms, greater tolerance, and ample space for fulfilling traditional human needs. Above all, it will impart the wisdom to transform the time afforded by automation into a catalyst for progress.
