“A law can’t be right if it’s 50 years old. Like, it’s before the Internet. Here, put on these glasses.”

(Actually accurate speech from an entertaining and speculative exploration of the ideas and meanings that are pulling our minds, bodies, and culture into structural and behavioral congruence with their developmental histories and agendas)

As you read this, I want you to think about a polarity of this island, where all the ‘technologies’ are relational, organismal, intellectual, and, in general ‘more like you than machines can ever become’.

Why exactly are we trying to mate with machines (which are abstractions of specific functions of organisms and their relationships)? Why are we not developing relational and cognitive ‘technologies’ that vastly outstrip anything our misguided addiction to devices could hope to provide?
