Excerpt from the book:

“The argument here is that, if we are to survive, we need to embrace ambiguities and to accept a various degree of relevance of any category we operate with, based on the multilayered aspects of whatever reality we place ourselves in. That is, rationality works at some level, but it is not universally transferable, and it has a variety of declinations. Individual personhood is relevant, and it is not always so. Objectivity may work with objects, but not everything in our universe is an object. In fact, very few things are mostly, and perhaps only, what we materially created, to some level of analysis, of course. Mathematics is an exact language, but it is not the   language that could accurately describe the universe. In fact, we probably lack that language, since we are prisoners of the ones we have. Or that language is always spoken to us, in us, only if we start listening. We certainly should not think that there is only one way of being and doing that is mathematically codifiable and universally transferable. The danger with AI is not that it will <<take over>> humanity but that it will augment a reduced vision of humanity that takes over everything else while, and by, transforming that everything into objects of exploitation.” (Chapter “What Now?”, p. 164-165)
