DIGITALISM: AN EMERGING POST-MODERN SYSTEM

Abstract

The article discussed thoroughly the new philosophy termed as “Digitalism” while comparing it 
with capitalism and communism. Digitalism is based on the basic concept that, the things, people and their 
immediate environment would interact without the supervision of the human beings and the system would 
generate the necessary outcome effectively and efficiently and even better than the previous systems like 
capitalism and communism (all their forms). The article elaborated the three dimensions of that philosophy 
including economic, social and political. Economically, the capitalist system has to suffer immensely due to the 
huge imbalance in the fundamental equation- major unemployment and massive cut in the consumption.  Hence, 
two labor employment centers world labor employment (WLEs) and world immigration center (WIs) along with 
WUIF (World Universal Income Fund) must be created in order to provide maximum opportunities to all the 
global population without the limitations of their nationality and border. Socially, a dynamic social society would 
come to the fore where people might not be able to link with each other due to their fixed profession but, a jack 
of all trades phenomenon is going to prevail. Hence, three classes, an ultra-rich techno-corporate businessmen 
(techno-bourgeoisie), techno-experts (as similar to nobles in older centuries) and general workers/freelancers 
(working for multiple industries at the same time) would emerge as a result of these developments. Politically, 
intellectocracy through its philosophical lens of Szellemiism, that emphasizes on giving more political rights to 
intellectuals than to non-intellectuals and thereby allowing the most-wise and sound individuals to govern 
effectively and efficiently, will not only play a major role state-wise but by that means contribute significantly 
towards the global socio-economic and political stability. Hence, Digitalism through its core “Data” centered 
approach will create a new post-modern society in which, physical and digital lives would be merged in an 
inseparable way.
