The following essay examines the transformations our world is undergoing post 2020-2022 pandemic in the context of climate crisis. The Panoptic Society of Digital Control catapulted by Artificial Intelligence is one of the outcomes of this transformation. Instrumental reason is at the core of the emerging bio-tech paradigm, which is rapidly increasing the social, ecological, and spiritual degradation produced by civilization as a model of dominance. To counter this apocalyptic scenario based on the domination of nature, I propose poetic reason as the foundational matrix to move away from the instrumentalization of life in order to reshape in a more harmonious way the coexistence of human beings with each other, the environment, the cosmological order, and the animal realm.
