Forth biopolitical tools in the form of Taylorism swept the field of manual labor. Automation, robotization,"googling" algorithmize intellectual work. Being homo imperfectum, a person falls into conditions of excessive pressure from high-precision technologies that adjust it to their standards. There is a conflict between the values of collective security and individual freedom with an unpredictable outcome for a person. The potential of modern transformantropic biopolitics is ambivalent. Confirmantropiс biopolitics able to reveal the potential of the person but nеgantropic biopolitics enslaves people.
