Starting from the concept of semantic capital, considered as any content that can increase someone’s power to semanticize something, the Author reflects upon the technological development as a driver of new opportunities and new challenges. Digital technologies are no exception, as they bring with them an enormous power in sense production, but at the same time exacerbate the risks associated with the use of semantic capital. Although it may appear elusive, it represents the humus of our lives: it is, in fact, the ultimate transcendental condition because it makes possible the life forms of the mind, including social, political and economical developments.
