The piece was a major influence on my conception of postgenderist theory, inspiring such articles as "Overcoming Gender" and "Postgenderism: Beyond the Gender Binary" (PDF) (the latter of which I co-authored with James Hughes). In "A Cyborg Manifesto," Haraway issued a challenge to feminists to engage in a politics beyond naturalism and essentialism. She used the concept of the cyborg to offer a political strategy for the seemingly disparate interests of socialism and feminism, writing, "We are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short, we are cyborgs."

Designer Psychologies: Moving beyond neurotypicality Designer psychologies, or customized cognitive processing modalities, describes the potential for future individuals to selectively alter the specific and unique ways in which they take in, analyze and perceive the world. Cognitive modalities are the psychological frameworks that allow for person-to-person variances in subjectivity, including such things as emotional responses, social engagement, aesthetics and prioritization. The day is coming when we'll be able to decide for ourselves how it is exactly that we want to process our world. Most of us have the so-called neurotypical cognitive response. Indeed, autism is a great example of this. Society benefits from neurodiversity. Now, as I address the potential for designer psychologies, I am not necessarily saying we should develop technologies to help us all become autistics—but if that’s your cup of tea, then go for it. From neurotypicality to neurodiversity Okay, so why do we need to reach outside the bounds of neurotypicality? A.
Las redes sociales más raras del mundo: para los amantes del karaoke, los zombies, los que buscan un sitio el cielo... >> Mil millones de vecinos El diccionario de la Real Academia Española define el término diversidad como “Abundancia, gran cantidad de varias cosas distintas”. En una primera impresión, si tenemos en cuenta la población de nuestro planeta con acceso a internet y el número de personas registradas en las plataformas con más tráfico del mundo: Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Myspace, Pinterest... podríamos pensar que este tema de las redes sociales es de todo menos diverso. Sería un mundo más bien con categoría uniforme. Si este nivel de diversidad no nos resulta del todo convincente, a las categorías anteriores, habría que añadir la de redes sociales “raras”.
F*ck Yeah Headlines 9 Ways Humanity Could Bring About Its Own Destruction It all started with David Chalmer's various thought experiments concerning qualia and something called philosophical zombies: A p-zombie is essentially a creature that in all ways appears to be conscious, but isn't really conscious. Chalmers proposed a thought experiment where the inputs an outputs of a growing number of neurons in a person's skull are gradually routed into a growing collection of artificial neurons. The person can then try switching back and forth at any level of replacement. Chalmers asks will the person at any point notice any change in their experience of sensations as they keep pressing this switch? If this would happen, if a person's qualia change, then Chalmers says we've overlooked something and consciousness is not being copied or duplicated. The key is that it only depends on a person's subjective experiences. I'm a mechanist and physicalist.
