Within the present essay, we intend to debate the apparent ”civilized” nature of the contemporary society, as a society dominated by a pattern called by the doctrine as ”corporatism” or as ”consumerism”, that assimilates and expands over the present conception about globalization and about what it should initially represent (a chance to development for everyone, according to 2030 Agenda- and to its principle ”nobody to be left behind”).Nevertheless, this principle could be used by governances that agree to the police-pattern, in a sense separated from the ethics, spirituality. Through techné and the prototype of the techno-barbarian world, we could be nearer to the Orwellian society, and to the vision of the cage-world, of the prison-world, of the digital world as a type of world refusing itself to spiritual, sacred knowledge and reflection that the so-called by us ”primitive” ancient cultures, had. The Hamangia Thinker and his half are giving us a reply over millennia: where are we all rushing, and who are we really? We are loving to think that we represent the apogees of civilization, but it is nothing that an ordinary arrogance, because a plastic and cement civilization cannot last multi-millenary, especially if it didn’t let behind a specific code of values and spiritual knowledge capable to resist through the times. The consumer of the malls is nothing else that a mammoth’s neo-hunter, a neo-cages man, these luxurious malls where we all are hiding our existence. The present essay is proposing a creative introspection, over postmodern man and what he intends to become.
