Digital prison, "facial recognition", the world of robots, "proof of humanity", and transhumanism hostile to humankind... This Unicorn #23 invites you to take stock of this digital totalitarianism currently being downloaded. As we swim in the midst of "normopathology," a concept I define as an era where madness becomes the norm, the questions of Kantian metaphysics deserve to be asked. What can I know? What should I do? What am I allowed to hope for?

For this Unicorn No. 21, we will analyze the gradual establishment of global totalitarianism. Because, while the masses are entertained, sometimes on official media, sometimes on alternative media, sometimes with various and varied television series, and episodes with twists, such as the dispute between this and that President...

The all-out development of "artificial intelligence" (AI) and the enthusiasm it generates must be the object of our greatest attention.   The first alarm we should have is the hook method used to encourage the population to make rapid and major use of it.

Reducing human life to a "price" is to strip it of all its dignity. Yet this is what we clearly see today: we must eliminate the sick, the useless, the unproductive from a capitalist point of view. But what about human beings when AI has replaced them and they have become completely useless in terms of economic profitability? At best, some will take care of serving the machine that dominates them, with maintenance jobs.

In a first analysis, entitled The Controlled Opposition or the Yellow Union, dated January 21, 2024 in Antipresse, I described the methods for containing political opposition among the people and directing it towards paths that are less dangerous in the eyes of those in power. This popular opposition, thus controlled, must be guided by leaders who will render it, without its knowledge, totally harmless.

What happens when a philosopher, armed with good reading, finds herself caught in an abusive—yet ordinary—airport search? The result is a profound meditation on the voluntary servitude that accompanies modernity like its shadow…

I have never attended more funerals in my life than in the last ten years in Colombia; the reason is not an increased mortality, but the fact that death here, where I live, concerns many people beyond the deceased's loved ones, family and friends.

In the current turmoil and the various controversies concerning "sex education", "emotional and relational education", the "sexual rights" of children, Dr. Régis Brunod and I wanted to return to the fundamentals of the psychological protection of children. A look back at an encounter, a journey, a refusal to negotiate with perversion, and the identification of multi-faceted manipulations.

Who is Sébastien Castellion? He is a great humanist who leads a poor existence, free from any material ties. He lives from his translations and the lessons he gives. His conscience revolts before the burning of Michel Servetus: he cannot remain silent and accuses Calvin. He then chooses the heroic life, without support, without a party, without a protector, without friends to support him openly. Castellion knows that such an attack condemns him, a helpless and isolated indivi

A criticism was recently leveled at Antipresse: we do not propose solutions; our findings are purely descriptive and analytical—and therefore depressing—because we provide neither remedies nor action for readers. I wanted to respond to this remark based on my own reflection and personal experience.

What are "sanitary" masks the mask of? From an idyll with the nebulous "Common Good", this principle of gregarious leveling which is one of the essential driving forces of the totalitarian drift.

The media do not act as transmitters of information, but as places for chatter, including many so-called alternative media, which are beginning to function in a manner identical to the mass media: like the sidewalk across the street, in short, from the official media.

Confusing words with actions is a sign of regression into childhood, specifically into magical thinking. But when this magical thinking becomes the way adults operate, and a collective one at that, we are facing a seriously ill society.

When periods become totalitarian, the truth is mostly present in what is not named. We must always question what is being shown to us in an obvious way and what is being hidden from us.

Ariane Bilheran spoke as an expert to the Reiner Fuellmich investigation committee, during session number 78, on November 13, 2021, of the Corona Investigative Committee.

Before denouncing totalitarianism in general, have we made sure that it does not reside within ourselves? To find out, we must pay attention to certain processes that take place within groups as well as within individuals. Here is a first glimpse.

The cost of these Olympics is unreasonable, no decision holds water, everything becomes perfectly illogical to the point that the only rationally plausible explanation is that of an additional experiment in social control and a test of submission among the population.

Nowadays, "parliamentary immunity" allows members of parliament to escape the consequences of their actions. In ancient Athens, it was exactly the opposite: by proposing an inadmissible law, one put one's own life on the line... Is it any wonder that our regimes, deprived of any checks and balances, descend into chaos?

This work is masterful, because in a few pages, Leo Löwenthal manages to paint the finest psychological portrait I know, especially for his time, of atomization in a totalitarian period, that is to say, of the role played by terror in transforming the individual into an isolated and desperate cell at the heart of a large mass. This German sociologist and philosopher, linked to the Frankfurt School, who emigrated to the United States to flee Nazism, was aware of the cancellati

Unlike the Colombian people among whom she lives, Ariane Bilheran notes that the French constantly demand their dose of illusions. Recent outbursts of collective hatred and hypocrisy vividly illustrate this addiction.
