In the following paper we will undertake a critical, spoilsport, and pessimistic reading, as the author in question would say, of the article "From the Flintstones to the Jetsons: Wonders of Technological Progress with Convergence" (2014) by Javier Milei, then Chief Economist of Fundación...

Una lectura aguafiestas de la singularidad económica propuesta por Javier Milei Zalazar, Belisario Narratives of the future Euphoric optimism (Economic) Singularity Stadistical Providencialism Narrativas del futuro Optimismo eufórico Singularidad (económica) Providencialismo estadístico In the following paper we will undertake a critical, spoilsport, and pessimistic reading, as the author in question would say, of the article "From the Flintstones to the Jetsons: Wonders of Technological Progress with Convergence" (2014) by Javier Milei, then Chief Economist of Fundación Acordar. To do so, we will reconstruct the narrative of the future proposed by Milei, focusing on his theoretical assumptions (mainly the economic Singularity), the epistemological operations that establish the regime of truth of his arguments (what we call here Statistical Providentialism) and the techno-economic optimism that shapes his vision of history past, present and to come. En el siguiente trabajo emprenderemos una lectura crítica, aguafiestas y pesimista ‒diría el autor en cuestión‒ del artículo “De los Picapiedras a los Supersónicos: Maravillas del Progreso Tecnológico con Convergencia” (2014) firmado por Javier Milei, por entonces Economista Jefe de la Fundación Acordar. Para ello reconstruiremos la narrativa de futuro que propone Milei, centrándonos en sus presupuestos teóricos (la singularidad económica principalmente), las operaciones epistemológicas que establecen el régimen de verdad de sus argumentos (lo que llamamos aquí providencialismo estadístico) y el optimismo tecnoeconómico que configura su visión de la historia pasada, presente y por venir.
