There are at least three existential challenges to contemporary
societies, as we know them namely first, the complete rupture of the
social pact which characterized Glorious Decades after WWII in most of
Western societies; and second, the deepening of the patterns of
informatization and "intelligent" automation with the associated
modifications in labour relations and mechanisms of social
control. All that, third, is coupled with a climate crisis that might
have well reached a tipping point toward a global ecological
disaster. Here I shall briefly discuss the first, and even more
briefly the second one, ending with some urgent policy implications.
