| Re: <nettime> unionization and the bots |
Dear Alice, thanks a tera for the reference. my philosophical tools are
very blunt but i dont think i am fully persuaded about abandoning
humanism - i agree though the left is arch-conservative - but isn't
ecotech possible? would this make cyborg of us? i dunno i dream of
light-tech cities shaded by sequoias. i guess i refuse to mutate into
the inevitable. grazie! lx

The Labor of the Inhuman, Part I: Human
  Inhumanism is the extended practical elaboration of humanism; it is
  born out of a diligent commitment to the project of enlightened
  humanism. As a universal wave that erases the self-portrait of man
  drawn in sand, inhumanism is a vector of revision. It relentlessly
  revises what it means to be human by removing its supposed evident
  characteristics and preserving certain invariances. At the same time,
  inhumanism registers itself as a demand for construction, to define
  what it means to be human by treating human as a constructible
  hypothesis, a space of navigation and intervention.^1
