The former are inducing their personal art in their crafts, where the latter are just another cheap cog in the industrial machine. In the Manifesto, they predicted that it will someday affect “all classes of the population […] because their specialised skills are rendered worthless by new methods of production“. Is it our time?Bernard Stiegler took the concept further: stieglerian proletarization is the general dispossession of knowledge, not only manual but also social and theoretical. It generates alienated existences and unsustainable futures."
