The present article discusses the phenomenon of human consciousness in eras of changes in the world’s informative, social, and political networks. It focuses on the sensations experienced by cultured individuals in their struggle against and effort to cope with the political and economic trend of assimilation within a global totality. In addition, it presents some of the underlying principles of the stoa, which occupied a central place in post-Alexandrine political thought, as relevant to our present-day reality, insofar as the position of an individual concerning the global-media totality of the early third millennium is concerned—a totality, which is subject to the control of immensely powerful stakeholders, who employ big data and algorithms in the service of obtaining economic and political gains through their control and shaping of individual consciousness.
