Each age has its own disease. For example, there is an era that can be said to be bacterial. But this era came to an end, at least with the invention of antibiotics.

The beginning of the 21st century can be defined pathologically as neither bacterial nor viral, but rather neurotic. It is an infarct disease, not a contagious disease, and it is a disease caused by an excess of positivity, not the negativity of the immunological other. Therefore, it is by no means governed by immunological techniques aimed at defeating the negativity of others.

​

The last century was the immunological age. In other words, it was an era in which clear boundaries were drawn between the inside and the outside, friends and enemies, and me and others.

The essence of immunological behavior is aggression and defense. There is a certain blindness in the essence of these immunological devices that have taken over the entire society from the biological level to the social level. The strange thing is that it has to be blocked unconditionally. The target of immune defense is alterity itself. Others who do not have any hostile intentions or who pose no danger are subject to removal just because they are heterogeneous.

​

Today's society is gradually falling into a structure that cannot be grasped by the schema of immunological organization and defense. This new composition is characterized by the disappearance of heterogeneity and otherness. Heterogeneity is a fundamental category in immunology. All immune responses are responses to heterogeneity. Today, heterogeneity has been replaced by a 'difference' that produces no immune response.

At an immunological level, differences are the same thing. The difference lacks, so to speak, a thorn that triggers a violent immune response. The otherness also loses its sharpness and falls into clichéd consumerism. Unfamiliar things are transformed into exotic things, and they become objects of enjoyment for tourists who travel. Tourists, or consumers, are no longer immunological agents.

​

​

The immunological paradigm is incompatible with the globalization process. The heterogeneity that triggers the immune response is only an impediment to the deboundary process. The immunologically organized world has a special spatial structure. It consists of borders, passages, thresholds, fences, trenches, and barriers. They block the process of universal exchange and exchange. Every sphere of life today is characterized by a general state of orgy, which is closely related to the fact that the heterogeneity that wields power from an immunological point of view no longer exists. The hybridization trend that dominates not only cultural theoretic discourse but also today's life emotions itself is the opposite of immunization. This is because immunological hypersensitivity to sensitively reacting to others will not tolerate any hybridization.

​

A fundamental characteristic of immunity is the dialectic of negativity. The immunological other is a negation molecule that penetrates into the ego and tries to negate the ego. The self is destroyed by the negativity of the other, and to avoid this, one must be able to negate the other on the side of the self.

The immunological self-assertion of the self is implemented through the negation of negation. The ego identifies itself in the other by denying the other's negativity. Immunological prophylaxis, ie vaccination, also follows the dialectic of negativity. In this case, only fragments of the other are put into the ego to trigger an immune response.

Thus, the denial of negation is done without fatal risk. This is because the immune-resistance system does not directly confront the other. We voluntarily accept a little bit of violence to defend ourselves from a much greater violence that can be fatal.

The disappearance of heterogeneity means that we live in an era where there is not much negativity. Neurological diseases of the 21st century also follow their own dialectic, but it is not a dialectic of negativity, but a dialectic of positivity. Such a disease can be said to be a pathological condition resulting from an excess of positivity.
