description Nowadays, when we have entered into the age of the digital revolution, humanity –same as the structural forms in which social exchanges have been maintained all through history– head toward a radical transformation that we could name “heterogenesis”, which menaces in subverting the basic mental conditions of all natural order: body, sexual identity, death, and sickness certainty, even reality itself as never after is beginning to dissolve it’s basis in the psychical dimension. Humanity has pull out its own species skin in order to find in the virtual, in the screens bright, its new identity –imaginary– as “superman”, free from the ties of what is real but absorbed by the hallucinogenic pleasure of a fake reality from which we are prisoners. Which are the consequences that a disproportionate impact with synthetic realities brings to the mental health of humans?

Nowadays, when we have entered into the age of the digital revolution, humanity –same as the structural forms in which social exchanges have been maintained all through history– head toward a radical transformation that we could name “heterogenesis”, which menaces in subverting the basic mental conditions of all natural order: body, sexual identity, death, and sickness certainty, even reality itself as never after is beginning to dissolve it’s basis in the psychical dimension. Humanity has pull out its own species skin in order to find in the virtual, in the screens bright, its new identity –imaginary– as “superman”, free from the ties of what is real but absorbed by the hallucinogenic pleasure of a fake reality from which we are prisoners. Which are the consequences that a disproportionate impact with synthetic realities brings to the mental health of humans? Entrados en la era de la revolución digital, la humanidad –lo mismo que las formas estructurales en que se han sostenido los intercambios sociales a lo largo de la historia– experimentan el día de hoy una trasformación que bien podríamos llamar "heterogénesis", tan radical que amenaza con subvertir los supuestos del orden más natural: el cuerpo, la identidad sexual, la certeza de morir o enfermar e incluso el mismo sentido de realidad, los cuales empiezan a difuminar sus fundamentos en lo psíquico. El hombre se ha arrancado la piel de su especie para encontrar en lo virtual, en el reflejo de las pantallas, su nueva condición –imaginaria– de "superhombre" libre de las ataduras de lo real, pero embebido por el placer alucinógeno de una realidad de fantasía en la que está cautivo. ¿Qué consecuencias trae pues el impacto desmedido de las realidades de síntesis en el psiquismo humano?
