Developed as a critical response to "Trumpism and Long-Termism: AI and Biopolitics of Extinction" by Antonino Pennisi and Alessandra Falzone, this study analyzes the convergence of deterministic decisionism and AI as a trigger for a new biopolitics of extinction. The central thesis posits that culture has transitioned into a «systemic pathology» due to a fundamental «kinetic divergence»: the exponential acceleration of technological evolution structurally outpaces the adaptive latency of human evolution. This misalignment is exacerbated by a media ecosystem generating «algorithmic blindness» regarding existential risks. Consequently, longtermism is framed as an «ontological error» – mistaking the data map for the biological territory – that sacrifices present agency for abstract futures. Ultimately, the paper questions whether a maximization-oriented culture can self-limit, presenting technology as a Pharmakon: simultaneously the poison of our biological roots and a paradoxical cure.
