The evolution of Western societies towards an increasing individualism seems to be accompanied by a downgrading or a loss of importance of most of the traditional patterns, such as certain rituals and institutional or ideological reference points. The recent health crisis, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, seems to be directing the individual to an era of urgent simulation by transferring to cyberspace much of the psychosocial and communicative processes of the physical environment. This article focuses on the search for meaning in the new post-pandemic digital reality as well as the return of positivism, in the twenty-first century, to social and humanistic sciences as an outgrowth of the above. The questions that we try to approach, through the theoretical reasoning of this article, focus on the correlation of human nature with culture and collectivities in the in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. What is the socio-cultural destiny of the subject on the threshold of artificial intelligence? Why does the scientific argument reject the anthropocentric acquis and focuses on imitation, through simulation, intellectualism and, ultimately, imitation through simulation of the human?
