Andrea Venanzoni collaborates with the chairs of constitutional law, is a legal consultant, specialized in legal profiles of digital society and an essayist. He writes for Il Foglio, Libero and Il Riformista . He has published, among others, the volumes "La tyranny of the emergency" (Liberilibri, 2023) and "Digital sovereignty between national security and constitutional order" , with M. Proietti (Pacini Giuridica, 2023) and "The dark throne - magic, power and technology in the contemporary world” (LUISS University Press, 2022), which this interview focuses on. Interviewing him is Roberto Siconolfi , sociologist, essayist and medialogist. He has collaborated with numerous paper and online magazines and newspapers since 2016.
He writes essays and scientific publications at CRIFU, teaches Germany Phone Number Sociology and mediology for UniTre, and is a speaker for the YouTube channel Libreria Cavour Esoterica. He is also a speaker for Lab Academy and the author of many of our blog posts. Although technology is often seen as a symbol of progress , its foundations are intertwined with mysticism. Not only that: even prominent figures in the technological field, such as Steve Jobs and Zuckerberg, are openly inclined towards spirituality. During the interview, it is highlighted how the Gnostic tradition is reflected in the ambitions of Silicon Valley. This "technognosis" would profoundly influence individuals, especially through tools such as "Data Voodoo Dolls", i.e. digital alter egos of people created through mass profiling. Data and information have now surpassed material reality in value. Let's delve into these topics.
In his work The Dark Throne brings to light the hidden, esoteric, magical origins of that entire technological, IT, digital universe in which we are immersed. Possible? Do the technologies we have at hand have origins of this type? But aren't they the fruit of progress? When the British economist Keynes defined Isaac Newton not as the first of the scientists but as the last of the alchemists, he was to a certain extent quite right. From an empirical point of view, Newton's deep interest in esoteric sciences and alchemy is well known. Nowadays it would appear to us as an intrinsic contradiction, but for a very long time science and magic have joined hands, so to speak, in the attempt to rationalize the irrational and to protect the individual from the mysteries of the cosmos.
