The liberal humanist subject signifies the properly cognitive, intellectual, spiritual individuality of a specific, putatively universal biological creature, yet has been demonstrated to reflect not only ocularcentric biases specific to print media but also preferences of hegemonic male, privileged actors. Following a pattern well established in the digital humanities of enframing fundamental philosophical positions within their technological age, the constitution of the broad notion of human being is formed around the physical, cultural, and technical contours of their dominant media technologies. In this broad periodization model, centuries of sway by print literacy begin to be surpassed by dynamic, electrically powered media in the late nineteenth through mid twentieth century, ending the period generally called modernism and ushering in the period after, the post modern, whose conception of humanity was threatened by dissolution of guiding metanarratives into inauthentic relativisms featuring the precession of simulacra in unconscious market economies. As electronic surpassed electromechanical regulation, a new model of the soul emerged that was far superior to the gramophone, film and typewriter construction: the automatic digital computer. At the same time, the unified, private individuality of the modernist subject, splintered into the schizoid, postmodern dividual, begins to reassemble around a virtual core whose sense organs, memory and cognitive faculties extend into the inhuman environment. However, as convincingly argued by Catherine Malabou in What Should We Do With Our Brain?, it has become difficult to distinguish between the latest findings of neural science and the prevalent rhetorics of global capitalism. The fate of the dividual cyborg therefore seems to be at the mercy of transnational corporate agendas that manufacture desires and means to achieve them, consummating the regressive consumer mentality railed against by Frankfurt school critical theorists like Horkheimer and Adorno. As Postman was quoted in the previous chapter, nothing interesting every happens for the losers.

To explain post-postmodern we must pass through modernity, what came before us, literary minds, favoring analysis that discards its adherence yet leaves it as exemplar.

Dominant class figures; per Luxemburg nationalism usurps democratic organization. (96) Behind the ideal dimension of the concept of nation there were the class figures that already dominated the processes of accumulation.
(97) [Rosa] Luxemburg recognized that national sovereignty and national mythologies effectively usurp the terrain of democratic organization by renewing the powers of territorial sovereignty and modernizing its project through the mobilization of an active community.

Bodin leading theorist on national sovereignty, anticipating its critique by modernity in natural right and historicist state traditions. (97) Jean Bodinƒs work lies at the heart of the road in European thought that leads to the concept of national sovereignty. . . . By adopting a realistic standpoint, he managed to anticipate modernityƒs own critique of sovereignty.
(98) By taking up Roman law and drawing on its capacities to articulate the sources of right and order the forms of property, Bodinƒs doctrine became a theory of a unified political body articulated as administration that appeared to surmount the difficulties of the crisis of modernity.
(98-99) After Bodin, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries there developed in Europe simultaneously two schools of thought that also accorded the theme of sovereignty a central role and effectively anticipated the concept of national sovereignty: the natural right tradition and the realist (or historicist) tradition of state theory.

Quoting the fragment Decline of the Cosmological Values naming nihilism as a psychological state: discouraged (no meaning in becoming, events); lost faith in own value (we do not really have a place in a totality to give us value); no metaphysical afterworlds (only the earth); cosmology points to anthropological nature of Nietzsche psychology. (28) Man is what lies at the bottom of all beings; that is, in modern terms, at the bottom of all objectification and representability. No matter how sharply Nietzsche pits himself time and again against Descartes, whose philosophy grounds modern metaphysics, he turns against Descartes only because the latter still does not posit man as subiectum in a way that is complete and decisive enough. The representation of the subiectum as ego, the I, thus the "egoistic" interpretation of the subiectum, is still not subjectivistic enough for Nietzsche. Modern metaphysics first comes to the full and final determination of its essence in the doctrine of the Overman, the doctrine of manƒs absolute preeminence among beings. In that doctrine, Descartes celebrates his supreme triumph.
(29) (quoting Nietzsche) To conceive of psychology as the morphology and doctrine of the development of will to power, as I do no one has yet come close to this in his thought.

Resounding next after rewriting operation as unknown known transcoding rubrics. (xiv) But this prodigious rewriting operation which can lead to whole new perspectives on subjectivity as well as on the object world has the additional result, already touched on above, that everything is grist for its mill and that analyses like the one proposed here are easily reabsorbed into the project as a set of usefully unfamiliar transcoding rubrics.
(xiv) The fundamental ideological task of the new concept, however, must remain that of coordinating new forms of practice and social and mental habits (that is finally what I take [Raymond] Williams to have had in mind by the notion of a structure of feeling ) with the new forms of economic production and organization thrown up by the modification of capitalism the new global division of labor in recent years.

Nature of text replaces work. (xvii) it has more to do with the nature of postmodern texts themselves, which is to say, the nature of a text in the first place, since that is a postmodern category and phenomenon which has replaced the older one of work.

Popular Culture Association conference proceedings exemplify fascination with degraded landscape of schlock and kitsch, effacement of frontier between high and mass culture. (2-3) one fundamental feature of all the postmodernisms enumerated above: namely, the effacement in them of the older (essentially high-modernist) frontier between high culture and so-called mass or commercial culture, and the emergence of new kinds of texts infused with the forms, categories, and contents of that very culture industry so passionately denounced by all the ideologues of the modern, from Leavis and the American New Criticism all the way to Adorno and the Frankfurt School. The postmodernisms have, in fact, been fascinated precisely by this whole degraded landscape of schlock and kitsch . . . materials they no longer simply quote, as a Joyce or a Mahler might have done, but incorporate into their very substance.

Underside of culture: Kittler, Zizek? (5) Of all the arts, architecture is the closest constitutively to the economic, with which, in the form of commissions and land values, it has a virtually unmediated relationship. It will therefore not be surprising to find the extraordinary flowering of the new postmodern architecture grounded in the patronage of multinational business, whose expansion and development is strictly contemporaneous with it. . . . this whole global, yet American, postmodern culture is the internal and superstructural expression of a whole new wave of American military and economic domination throughout the world: in this sense, as throughout class history, the underside of culture is blood, torture, death, and terror.

Postpone gratification of chronological understanding in ascesis of the diachronic. (66) What rescues the new schema from the aporias of the dualisms enumerated here then also offers a kind of intellectual training in leaving the dates out, a kind of ascesis of the diachronic in which we learn to postpone the final gratification of the chronological as a mode of understanding, a gratification that would in any case involve getting out of the system itself, of which, however the two or three terms rehearsed here are the internal, infinitely substitutable elements.

Not that basic math is abandoned: the controlled world relies upon it; postmodern science adds more variations (fracta, catastrophes, paradoxes). (60) The conclusion we can draw from the research (and much more not mentioned here) is that the continuous differentiable function is losing its preeminence as a paradigm of knowledge and prediction. Postmodern science by concerning itself with such things as undecidables, the limits of precise control, conflicts characterized by incomplete information, fracta, catastrophes, and pragmatic paradoxes is theorizing its own evolution as discontinuous, catastrophic, nonrectifiable, and paradoxical.

I want to use debate between modernist and postmodern positions as a place to comment upon the experience of doing philosophy while programming, and specifically in the second chapter. (1)

Many historical accounts of the development of literacy, print, and electronic forms of communication present similar narratives, stepping through nearly identical sequences of inventions, canonical examples, and social adaptations to them, from early forms of picture writing, alphabets, manuscript, mechanical printing, electrified mass production, to the digital codes, virtual environments, and Internet based media. Yet these studies of texts and technology often manifest the tensions between two overall, opposing philosophical positions, broadly referred to as modernism and postmodernism, yielding different assessments of what kinds of media future scholars should study, what techniques to employ and teach others, and even what may be the ultimate trajectory of human beings and machines as a result. These are at stake, implicitly or explicitly.
