Digital knowledge, obsessive computing, short-termism and need for a negentropic Web

Abstract

Bernard Stiegler speaks about digital tertiary retention and the need for an epistemological revolution as well as new forms of doctoral studies and discusses the practice of ‘contributive categorization,’ the ‘organology of transindividuation,’ ‘transindividuation of knowledge’ and individuation as negentropic activity. He calls for an ‘economy of de-proletarianization’ as an economy of care, compares the impact of the digital on the brain with heroin and expects the reorganization of the digital from the long-term civilization in the East.
