The ethical axiotropism between moral development and amoral optimization

This article aims (using the philosophical method) to raise fundamental questions regarding the possible directions of ethics, particularly the survival of authentic moral values in a world dominated by amoral optimization—an algorithmic process that prioritizes efficiency over ethical considerations. One of its most pervasive effects is digitcultism, a phenomenon characterized by excessive belief in and irrational dependence on digital technology. As algorithmic systems increasingly dictate social interactions and decision-making, digitcultism emerges as an inevitable consequence of efficiency-driven automation—gradually eroding human presence and meaning. A rational response to this crisis is ethical axiotropism: a reevaluation of ethical structures, a redefinition of key moral concepts, and a restoration of values necessary for sustaining genuine human autonomy in the algorithmic age.
