An anthropological turning point can be defined as follows: it is (i) a cultural change in symbolization, which (ii) leads to a new psycho-social structure, that is, a new correspondence between socialization and the psychic individuation of each person, and thus (iii) radically modifies society. With symbolic boundaries diminished, it is now real limits that must govern the desires of Externatus. His independence from a transcendent Other has made him practically autonomous but symbolically lost. Externatus’s digital communities, formed with shifting affiliations, resemble patchworks rather than nourishing connections with a community, for a simple reason: like Externatus, these communities view themselves as self-constituted. In a society that operates as a combinatory system, personal and professional commitments are inherently flexible. In a culture that dissolves the certainties handed down by logos, relativism replaces absolute truths. The rejection of Alterity, coupled with an aporetic resolution on digitization, leads us into profound contradictions. One of the most glaring is that fragmentation fuels a demand for unity, which finds a solution in digitization but a destabilizing one because digital orders are, in reality, rather multi-individual than collective.
