DAY 2/100

Sat. 17 Sept.

Productivity:

- Readings: Algorithmic Governmentality and the Death of Politics. An interview with Antoinette Rouvroy (2020) Algorithmic Governmentality (social world based on algorithmic processing of data sets, not politics, social norms, or law) is about having control over uncertainty and reducing possible into probable, eliminating all risk. It is a claim that human rationale is able to grasp everything that is not human. Big data removes the idea of average and caters to the experiences of the individual. Hyper-individualism leads to hyper-surveillance. In the case of insurance; if a person's data indicates they are at risk of premature death (through tracking habits), their insurance may be canceled. Antoinette argues that there needs to be a reset in cultural values; the need to optimise everything all the time is leading to a bleak future, where people do not live in the present & concrete world. - Meeting: Discussion on how people perceive the world, the meaning of symbols, and how one can reshape the relationship with power structures by creating a relationship with the individuals behind it. Discussion of Susanne Langers symbol texts, and Jill Magid's artwork. - Analysed: Posthumanism, Transhumanism, Antihumanism, Metahumanism, and New Materialisms: Differences and Relations. (Francesca Ferrando, 2014.)

Differences between Post-Humanism & Transhumanism

Posthumanism is not hierarchical about differences

Link between Post-Humanism & Transhumanism: Technogenesis.

The inseparable bond of Humanity & Technology through the lenses of anthropology, ontology, and paleontology.

Posthumanism: Challenging traditional notions of humanity via the lenses of technological shifts, overcoming human primacy. Speciesism. Examines the Anthropocene.

Transhumanism: Transcending human limitations via technological & biological evolution. Understanding of humanity by looking at the future. Risk of techno-reductionism. "Humanity Plus" movement. Human-centric approach.

Antihumanism: Critiques the human-centric view of the world. Alternative ways of understanding humanity. Death of Man by Foucault. Urges to consider that humans also exist in the same ecosystem as other beings.

Metahumanism: Spirituality, mystical, holistic transformation of humanity.

New Materialism: Brings back the importance of materiality. Matter is seen as the process of materialization. Matter has agency & a role in shaping the world.
