Recreating and reinventing the space and conditions for dialogue is quite simply a Social Ecology priority. Colonised as we are by social networks, we are subjected to a constant avalanche of virtual information of varying degrees of reliability. As well as inhibiting us, this unassimilable information overload also gives us the illusion, by participating in its dissemination, of what is merely an ersatz form of action. These constant exchanges of information have replaced living dialogue, contributing to its paralysis, and ultimately contributing to the ideology of capitalism.

What’s more, in the society of the spectacle, the rotten fruit of this ideology, the confrontation of ideas is very quickly transformed into a confrontation of people. Dialogue, which should enable us to set in motion common dynamics, which is the first condition of an effective democracy, is felt as a threat, as something that could harm the importance that each person is trying to give himself. Because in the society of the spectacle, it’s impossible to acknowledge one’s shortcomings without appearing to have fallen off the social map. The show is an exhausting war of position in which everyone desperately tries to defend their image at the expense of any collective intelligence.
