suma asimptota (dupæ ce i-au fost, atîtea veacuri, „motor“), îøi vede
acum acfliunea mult simplificatæ, mult uøuratæ: nu mai trebuie sæ ne
reeduce, sæ ne „civilizeze“, sîntem gata extenuafli de atîta optimism
prost plasat, ne poate întinde o simplæ mînæ scofîlcitæ. Nu mai trebuie
sæ facæ nimic, se poate scuti de întregul efort modernizator panliberal:
capitalism færæ modernizare, epocalæ decuplare istoricæ. „Merge
øi aøa!“ Chiar mai bine!
Dar de ce ar trebui sæ ne mai torturæm cu probleme, sæ ne facem,
nebuneøte, probleme, nu ne va fi înflelepflit, oare, în fine, Istoria? De
ce ar trebui sæ luptæm în loc sæ træim pur øi simplu, sæ ne læsæm, beatific,
træifli (e mai simplu!), sæ træim natural artificialitatea sistemului?
Dupæ atît chin øi stres, dupæ atîta torsiune istoricæ, am intrat, în sfîrøit,
în EPOCA SIMPLIFICÆRII.
Nu asistæm, oare, la supremul triumf al înflelepciunii vieflii? Øi aceasta
chiar dacæ – o condiflie inevitabilæ – simplificarea presupune artificializare,
simulacre? Dacæ ne e mai bine cu simulacre, de ce nu le-am prefera?
Estul, zonele marginal-integrate, în general, se regæsesc (øi evidenfliazæ
„fenomenologic“) macrocondiflia existenflialæ a consumatorului, a omului-consumator,
a omului care nu poate, de fapt, produce decît simulînd
producflia, de fapt doar consumînd.
Am fost øi am ræmas, aici, doar importatori øi consumatori de istorie,
øi tocmai acesta se dovedeøte a fi, acum, adeværul adeværat despre
om: cæ nu poate produce, cæ nu poate decît consuma. Iar cînd nu mai
este nimic natural de consumat, producflia va simula producerea øi vom
continua sæ consumæm, chiar dacæ lucruri artificiale, bunuri simulate.
Cæci, sæ fim serioøi: capitalismul se aflæ în faza în care se întoarce împotriva
lui însuøi, împotriva prezumatei sale condiflii, piafla, pe care o sacrificæ,
acum, pentru a putea supravieflui.
NU EXISTÆ PRODUCfiIE!
NU EXISTÆ DECÎT CONSUM!
Capitalismul actual se autosacrificæ, dezvæluindu-øi „esenfla færæ de esenflæ“,
pe care pînæ de curînd reuøise s-o disimuleze istoric prin propriile
forfle øi cu ajutorul nesperat al „duømanilor“ sau al partenerilor de
operæ istoricæ.
CAPITALISM = NON-CALITATE = FALSIFICARE
Capitalismul se autofalsificæ frenetic. Dupæ ce a falsificat lumea, a
ajuns la el însuøi.
Dintotdeauna, capitalismul a evoluat integrînd negativul, funcflionînd
ceea ce-i scapæ sau ceea ce-l neagæ.
PRODUCfiIE = ARTIFICIAL
„Virtualizarea“ bunurilor, a mærfurilor.
Lege: cu cît creøte (øi se rafineazæ) producflia (artificiul voluntarist al producfliei,
producflia ca artificialitate), cu atît creøte (øi se rafineazæ) øi artificialitatea,
falsul.
PRODUCfiIA E FALSUL
PRODUCfiIA PRODUCE FALS
Aceasta e lege, nu defect. Acest enunfl trebuie perceput pozitiv, nu
negativ.
– the consumer, of the man who cannot actually produce otherwise than by simulating
production, that is exclusively by consuming.
Here, we were and remained mere importers and consumers of history and this is
exactly what now proves to be the naked truth about man: that he/she cannot produce,
that he/she can only consume. And when there is nothing natural left to be
consumed, the production will simulate the producing and we will continue to consume,
even it will be artificial things, simulated goods that we consume.
This is because, seriously now, capitalism reached that stage where it goes against
itself, against its presumed condition – the market – which it sacrifices now so as to
be able to survive.
THERE IS NO PRODUCTION!
THERE IS ONLY CONSUMPTION!
Current capitalism self-sacrifices, unveiling its “essenceless essence”, that it has until
recently succeeded in historically dissimulating by its own means, with the unhopedfor
help of the “enemies” or partners of historical work.
CAPITALISM = NON – QUALITY = FALSIFICATION
Capitalism frenetically self-falsifies. After having falsified the world, it got on to itself.
Since forever, capitalism has evolved by integrating the negative, by circulating
whatever it misses or what it denies it.
PRODUCTION = ARTIFICIALNESS
“Virtualization” of goods, of commodities.
Law: the more production (the voluntarist artificialness of production, production
as artificiality) increases (and refines itself), the more the artificiality, the falseness
increases (and refines itself).
PRODUCTION IS FALSENESS
PRODUCTION PRODUCES FALSENESS
This is a law, not a deficiency. This statement must be positively, not negatively taken.
(Occulted) banality: capitalism seeks to produce nothing more than unlimited profit.
The goods and commodities are the instruments, the paths to this profit, the final
goal of capitalism and of the logic of capital.
In consequence, there is an oblique relation between profit and artificiality.
The virtually unlimited profit is artificial, it cannot be produced other than artificially
and it produces forever more artificiality, that is, falseness.
Capitalism falsifies.
The technological share of falseness unavoidably increases along with profit.
THE TRIUMPH OF CAPITALISM
=
THE DOMINATION OF ARTIFICIALNESS
Attention! I repeat: these are not, as they may seem, value judgements, but “apocalyptic”,
that is to say late, “final” revelations of the artificiality of man, the creator of
prostheses.
For a long history, the human prostheses have been symbolical, “spiritual”. It is only now
that they become massively material, with man “virtualizing”, „spiritualizing” himself.
Capitalism falsifies and artificializes, thus lying, not admitting is in the course of nature.
In our East: the historical meeting and reunion of terminal conditions – as “parousia”
of MAN the CONSUMER – of evacuation, of dilapidation of modernity, which (unlike
in the West) is judged and condemned without trial.
