Abstract

The struggle for existence is a primordial idea that we can identify since the early history of philosophy. The growth of humanity urges an incessant comparison with war and its destructive character that therefore requires new cohabitations and sociopolitical models. The concept of Paspolemos offers an alternative perspective of the conflicts in a globalized world that run to the 2050s featuring the horrific consequences of the use of Industry 4.0 technologies. Who will save the world? The key players will be the resilient GenZ 5.0.
