The Matrix is a world where the sacredness of life and the miracle of birth no longer exist, where life can be interfaced, and transformed, with machines, until it is completely replaced by copies, simulacra, artificial ones (such as robots). Virtual reality, as a technology of representation, is nothing other than the extreme consequence of the will of nihilistic domination, the will of omnipotence, the will of death, which pushes man towards the annihilation of himself and of the real world.
"... art is everywhere because artifice is at the center of reality. Thus art is death, because not only is its critical transcendence dead, but because reality itself has been confused with its own image, it no longer even has the time to acquire reality value" (Jean Baudrillard)
"... with the real world we have also eliminated the apparent one" (Friedrich Nietzsche)

The omnipresent virtuality of social media marks, paradoxically, "the end of the social" (Baudrillard).
Ultimately, the desacralization of art has allowed art to penetrate all cultural fields (political, social, economic, scientific), as the avant-gardes preached, but this has not translated into a liberation but rather into a new form of oppression, a dictatorship of images without aura that dominates the "spectacular society" unchallenged. The mediated experience (Erlebnis) has engulfed the real one (Erfahrung) taking possession of the minds and souls of the masses, reduced to cerebral mush by a continuous visual electro-shock, an infinite psychic torture porn, a hyper-estrangement, the crime Perfect.
" The combined action of psycho-technologies - infotainment, atrocity exhibition, pornography, advertising, psycho-pharmacology - produces a lethal cocktail capable of transforming anyone into a potential Mr. Hyde, a ruthless, primordial, demonic being, he and the only one who, 'among humans, was pure evil' ”

L'onniprosente virtualità dei social media segna, paradossalmente, “la fine del sociale" (Beaudrillard).

Neoliberal porn-globalization and the growth of the sex industries have made it possible to define prostitution as a "freedom", effectively fueling the trafficking of women and children for sexual purposes.
As Annalisa Verza points out, [...] the representation of the "porné", i.e. the "whore", does not occur by staging stories of prostitution (the payment for the sexual service is never depicted), but by mostly depicting ordinary women, thus suggesting, by synecdoche, that all women are actually “porné”. […] What is most serious, in this form of defamation, is its hiding a form of domination, an "eroticized power", as underlined by Catherine MacKinnon: the image of the woman conveyed by pornography is the exact opposite of that ideal of "customs" that the same "male community", creator and user of pornography, has imposed on women. Pornography, therefore, represents “shameless,” degraded women who are inevitably breaking the model of behavior they should honorably follow. In practice, it is a double deception: on the one hand, a certain model of morality is prescribed to women, and on the other, the same male culture insinuates through pornography that all women cannot maintain this code of honorability.

Tra esse c'era Onfale, futura regina delle Amazzoni. Costei non si perse d'animo e attaccò la Lidia col suo esercito, sconfiggendo la nazione. Per vendicarsi, costrinse le figlie dei Lidi a prostituirsi nel luogo stesso in cui questi avevano violentato le donne straniere (Ateneo: 50,13).

Soon, thousands of greedy eyes bent over the holes of the stereoscopes like the dormer windows of infinity.

And let it not be said that the kids returning from school were the only ones to enjoy that filth; they were the frenzy of society...
