If the media was very focused on Brigitte, wife of Emmanuel Macron, on his legs, the outfits and their love story, they paid less interest to the "spiritual father" of the French president, the French economist and banker Jacques Attali, Mitterrand's historic advisor, then advisor to Sarkozy: he would have been the one to introduce Macron to Hollande who would then have called him as assistant secretary to the Elysée, finally in 2014 to hold the position of Minister of Economy under the presidency of Manuel Valls, taking over from Arnaud Montebourg.
It was Attali himself who claimed the spiritual "paternity" of the new French president of whom he speaks with pride ("He will be an extraordinary president"). Already in April 2016 predicted that an unknown would win the presidential elections of 2017 and indicated two possible names: Emmanuel Macron and Bruno Le Maire.
Attali, who helped write the Maastricht Treaty, he is a lobbyist who over the years has released disturbing interventions in line with his fervent non-fiction production (think about Brief history of the future of the 2006). The phrase «And what did the European rabble believe, that the Euro was created for their happiness?».
In the 1981 gave an interview for a book by Michel Salomon, The Future of Life (The Future of Life), in which he explained his vision regarding the future of the welfare state: «We will be able to accept the idea of ​​extending life expectancy on condition that we make the elderly solvent and thus create a market». To solve the problem Attali hoped for the use of euthanasia, defined as one «of the essential tools of our future» as «in a capitalist society, machines will make it possible to eliminate life when it is unbearable or economically too expensive".
In an interview with «la Repubblica» del 19 August 2014 he went further by prophesying the advent of ectogenesis and cloning: «Reproduction will become the task of machines, while cloning and stem cells will allow parent-clients to grow organs at will to replace the most defective ones. A child can be carried by a previous generation of the same family or by any donor, and the children of two lesbian couples born from the same donor will be able to marry, giving life to a family with only grandmothers and no grandfathers. Much further, children can be conceived, carried in the womb and given birth to external matrices, animal or artificial, with great advantage for everyone: of men since they will be able to reproduce without entrusting the birth of their descendants to representatives of the opposite sex; of women since they will get rid of the burdens of childbirth". Not just because the artificial womb and cloning, «dizzying prospects will open up in which everyone will be able to decide independently to reproduce and one day perhaps we will arrive at universal hermaphroditism». A hope already expressed in Italy by Umberto Veronesi, which I have discussed extensively in Unisex.
This dystopian vision fully coincides with what was imagined by the novelist and essayist Aldous Huxley in 1932 in his New world which I have discussed extensively in my essays: future generations will be born in factories inside artificial wombs and sex will be free from love and a stable romantic relationship.
Attali is in fact a supporter of "polyamory" which is defined as "the most advanced point of developed societies": in love. History of the man-woman relationship of the 2007 predicted that monogamy would become an “anachronism”. Hence polygamy and consequently polyparenthood.
In Lexicon for the future, under “marriage”, he wrote: «The apology for authenticity will lead to the disappearance of fidelity as a duty and infidelity as a fault. Everyone will have the right to love multiple people at a time, in an open and transparent way. Everyone will have the right to form multiple pairs at the same time. Polygamy and polyandry will once again become the rule"; under “birth”, instead «Every human being will then become a being without father or mother, without ancestors or descendants, without roots or posterity, absolute nomad". To instead earn a form of immortality, in the future «Everyone […] will perpetuate its existence thanks to genetic clones that will be able to replicate each other".
In the 2006 in Brief history of the future, Attali maintained that in the next fifty years customs and morals will change: what was not accepted before will be accepted peacefully in the future because our parameters of judgment will be different (and here we could insert an interesting parallel on Chomsky's Boiled Frog Principle and the Overton Window). It should therefore not be surprising if it is still in Lexicon for the future Attali will go so far as to imagine that a man will be able to become a mother in the future, that is, giving birth to a child alone, «carrying the embryo in one's womb or allowing it to develop in a non-human uterus».
A 18 years after the publication of Lexicon for the future, in April this year, are "Nature Communications» it was announced that a group of American researchers from the Research Institute of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has built an artificial uterus, called “biobag” in which some prematurely born lambs were successfully raised: a small step towards the construction of artificial wombs to help children born prematurely. This is really the purpose?
The fact that the objective is different is explained by those bioethicists who push for research to introduce ectogenesis in the near future, effectively freeing women from the domination of nature.
The impression is that we are moving towards a post-human horizon, passing through the creation of GMO man: a genetically modified man. That is, we are in the field of Transhumanism, a project with demiurgic connotations, which preaches the advent of a future in which man can finally be free from his biological chains.
A dystopian future that will also see the dawn of a "new man", perfect citizen of the world to come and which the lords of finance dream of building.
