Abstract
Embark on a journey across time and the impact displacement has had on humanity. Using the analogy of a one-year calendar, the author glides over the historical events that have led to the current state of the world, including the rise of bioethics and the effects of the industrial revolution. The new big data empires are rapidly changing the world, and those who do not master them likely will be victims of those who do. The symbols we use and the way we treat the vulnerable are important aspects of displacement as seen in the impact of agribusiness giants on indigenous communities. Otherwise, the macrocosm of the bioethics of displacement will resume in a brain-dead humankind in a shifting landscape. It's important to understand the impact of displacement on humanity, and the values needed to navigate this rapidly changing world in which politicians' role seem to promote displacement and the subsequent growth of gangs. To cope with all this loss of meaning, some values are essential, including self-kindness, human warmth, solidarity, and a sense of belonging.

The Cyborg and the Noble Savage: Ethics in the War on Information Poverty
A compound word formed from the words: ‘cybernetic organism’. The term was coined by two medical researchers ( Clynes and Kline, 1960 ) to describe a cybernetic augmentation of machines with the human body toward the goal of achieving super-human capabilities of survival. The term has been adopted in popular literature to describe a synthesis of organic and synthetic parts, and is widely used to convey the melding of the human mind with computer technology to achieve super-human cognitive powers. Dona Haraway frames the expression in context of techno-political supremacy as “the awful apocalyptic telos of the West’s dominations,” (1991, p. 150).
