The technology of differentiated reproduction
It is not a tautology to do the same things as others; it is because we seek some identity, a value, and it to be valued. In Aristotle, we can see that it treats virtue and the relation of correspondence as constructed by social and cultural practices in which a sense of Justice and Self-Mastering correspond with that worth. "We are right then in saying that these virtues are formed in a man by his doing the actions, but no one, if he should leave them undone, would be even in the way to become a good man." In that case, the technology or any other is a qualitative jump for someone to do something more easily. It is the technical operation and knowledge of a technology.
I have perceived that Aristotle appears again, in many forms, in structuralism, into dialectics of the knowledge with quotes like: "We are what we do," and what it represents when we think about the development of technique and technology, the influence in the social behavior in a hierarchization in the scientific work seems to show a punctual seeks of connection past-to-present in almost a historical design linear. Production and reproduction try to hide a necessary understanding of human feelings, ethical decisions, and social relations with worth. This text does not come to do a critical vision of Aristotle from his work The Nicomachean Ethics. I only express my impression of his presence, sometimes hidden in scientific text today.
What we do shows what we are. "The paradox of the means. The paradox of action also holds in the case of identity." (Andrew Feenberg in https://www.sfu.ca/~andrewf/introcrit.pdf) An identity translated on the process of the usefulness of the technology - a relation in that each Justice and Self-Mastering are bound with precision and fasten during some little time. While we change our worth, virtue, and morality, we occupy technical knowledge with technology. One and the other are in this link itself. And what we are is linked with the changes of a productive and pedagogical reality that learning and put in hands to hold the technology, leaving the sense of an ethical another, in a state in that the virtue of being a good man is out of consideration, the virtue is the relative case in the technology uses.
We are in the "quantum" space or measure between knowledge for technology uses and the technical condition for reaching whatever someone wants. The reflex of that into the community is friends as an object of interest, in which he can use human-like technology, and the technique can be persuasion, creating traps, exchanges, and more.
But the situation from that case represents all the time, the same processing of a useful (utilitarian relation), a commercial definition of life, by a complete vision of the other like a thing, an object that has by features to be utilitarian functional and can be occupied in many forms and ways for serve at subsequence to others, too. It is necessary to know this technology for correct use.
Due to technology production, in the same "way" Education, especially in the University, training, and graduation for speedy technologists due to fragmentation of disciplinary and curricula, this formation has variables in time and means for this formation. Thus, the exquisite sense of a humanist, with social thinking, Justice, and Self-Mastering, put out the art like a contemplative object, the jump qualitative in reaching of a metaphor, the worth with ethical understanding of choose and social responsive with the society, and it happens in all knowledge areas, does not failure no one of them.
The social relation between technical and technology is by interest, an identity of competition with each other, a vision technologized of family protection relative to money, cash, goods, and objects with a kind of "letter" of affinity.
Changed social relations, mediation through games, the construction of a plane to make money (a technique with a technology), some anxiety to durability, time of technological use, and expectations for replacement of that. Maximizing learning to acquire "competence" stressful support when necessary, seeking arguments, modes of persuasion to prove a useful in personal use as an advantage for company or service, any jobs, showing to be prepared to do something, to be a being of success.
It does not exist as a formal time for professional formation, if not as a technical resource. Like novelty all the time falling into the market, throughout the hearts and minds of people, there also is no clear identity or belonging with a community or an understanding of a human being or humankind, if not by comparison with himself. The platonic "idea" or the Marxist thinking of totality is an abstraction localized into a mirror reflection (shadows into a cavern) nor more than a halo of what could be someone human to be trusted.
The reproduction technique and technology in the production, the main of execution, anyway, are made with modification, transformation in scale in constant change of features, use mode, form, aesthetic, and functionality provoking differences - the differentiation by overlap meaning appropriation of identity in that someone is at the same time the desired object and the object (objective). Thus, it is by class differentiated, social condition, what they wear, what they think or manifest, what reads someone, and their voice modulated speaks; also, in this organic technological production (human society). In this time of speed technology production, each individual is a reproduction differentiated, equality by "groups" and externally complete individuation, no more singularity. Still, something seems unique in the conjunct of oneself but integrated with rapidity in technology production - a technical formation happens.
Differentiation by-products, capacity to use the technical protocol, knowledge for persuasion, knowing to play the social "game," himself as a product in constant modification by "innovation," a reproduction from reproduction in that away from Aristotle virtue, utilizes of "moralities" indicatives, signalized and present into technical learning and technology production. Ultimately, both relations are meaningful, transforming human thinking into a reproduction technology by differentiation.
However, the University offers human activities and formation in humanistic studies. The increasing works of criticism against individualism. The tragic evidence of environmental destruction, we can understand the conjuncture lived situation in that era, recognizing the personal Justice sense and Self-Mastering in that ethical decision can reverter this differentiated reproduction, objected vision of humanity in that, as a fabric, this social tissue produce and reproduce with new wear, social exclusion, displacement, abandon, social apartheid, low opportunity, famine, and war. I would like to say that technique and technology are not the salvation.
Technique and technology are not the salvation of a sense of humanity; this corpus is incorporated into the singular subject. It is not because it is necessary for human formation; something like that is an advent of a sense of Justice and a self-mastered singular disposition to do what can be done through choice.
It is ethical - to be what we do, and it demands a Justice sense (for us and others - in a singular inclusion); clearly if we can take a jump on the social gaps, beyond empty, reaching metaphor sense, - understanding it - constructing new meaning (against the reproductive of the moralities - authoritarianism). A sensibility of human Justice, of worthy reason - a sensibility for loss and won. It does not have a human meaning; it is not ethical). We need a sensibility as human Justice. Self-Mastering is being who we are through what we do.
