Lost Consciousness and Pain of Existence:On Stiegler's Critique of Memory Industry
In today's era,the memory industry is developing rapidly,producing a large number of industrial memory commodities.The industrial replication and commercial sale of memory products have led to the invasion of industrial memory into the realm of consciousness,constituting the content of people's consciousness.Industrial memory participates in the formation of people's consciousness,indicating a crisis of consciousness where memory replaces consciousness.People's shared acceptance of memory commodities from industrial production marks the homogenization trend of individual consciousness and the loss of individual self-awareness.This makes it difficult for individuals to express their own existence,and gradually they lose their ability to judge values,which leads to the loss of their emotions,thoughts,and desires.However,there is no memory commodity that can completely replace consciousness in exercising its functions.Each individual is still bearing the pain of existence to search for the meaning of existence.Therefore,how to resist the invasion of consciousness from the memory industry and create the meaning of one's own existence have become a challenge for individuals.The solution lies in accurately distinguishing consciousness and memory,and using memory technology to rediscover one's uniqueness and gain a brand new form of self-awareness.
