Politics has a huge impact on people. Political decisions directly affect people’s lives and have a long-term impact on the future of societies. That is why it is so important for people of the modern era to participate in political processes and express their political views. Of course, the relationship between people and politics has been important throughout history. People have created various systems to govern their societies and make decisions. Politics has always existed and will continue to exist as a tool used in the creation, implementation and management of these systems.
Religious, moral, individual experiences, level of education, social class, lifestyle and other factors are influential in the formation of politics. The most influential factor in the development of politics in modern society is education. Because the modern state system is not a system ruled by a certain class, family, religion or sect, it needs educated individuals. Education causes politics to be oriented towards different tendencies, encourages the participation of all segments of society in political processes, and thus ensures that everyone’s opinion is expressed and taken into account. If such a political environment needs to be defined, it is called pluralist politics.

Pluralist politics underpins a democratic society and encourages diversity and participation in political decision-making and implementation. This approach preserves unity and cohesion in society by keeping social differences together.
But there is a problem. Modern education trains people according to the needs of the industrial society. The education system in the world today is based on the requirements and needs of the industrial revolution. How much human resources should be available in which field, which education should be provided with which tools, how and under what conditions scientific and technical, political, social, economic, artistic and religious education should be provided… What we call multiple democracy and multiple politics are within the limits set by the modern state. When these limits are exceeded, they are defined either as marginal movements or as anarchist “terrorized” structures and organizations. I am not talking about militarist terrorized structures that carry out attacks on human life and property. They are mostly organizations created to cover up the pathologies of the modern system itself. The modern world and politics are pluralistic in the world it constructs.
This structure, which the modern system defines as pluralistic, is no longer sufficient for the definitions of human, politics, science, art, religion that the digital age needs. The definitions, limitations and hegemony of modern politics are being shaken. The definition of the digital human is gaining validity day by day. This person does not need to use the facilities of industrial society’s educational institutions. He/she is able to experience and share all kinds of information and knowledge. It creates its own economy and its own bourgeoisie. New religions and new political movements can find a living space.
Among the problems observed are the following: There is currently no place where digital human beings can arrive at the concept of pluralism. Because the reflections of pluralism defined by modern democracy are the reflections of fascism and uniformism. Most of the artificial intelligence studies coded with the concepts of Enlightenment philosophy have so far developed in response to the idea of a uniform world. When the concepts of modern politics are discussed, the possibilities of the digital environment bring not modern pluralism but aggregation. This produces pathological problems as a factor that facilitates political manipulation. After a while, two different political factions talking about democracy accuse each other of being anti-democratic. Contrary to modern politics, the relationship between digital people and politics is transforming into a political atmosphere where the majority turns into a mass. The opposition can exist as the government and the government as the opposition…
