"As the foundation of modern political systems, the nature/culture divide had profound consequences for the production of a ‘science of man’, distinguishing between men and women, body and mind, civilised and savage, and arguably human and semi-human.
[…]
"Since the first steps of Columbus, the ‘colonial bioprospecting’ has been inventorying plant, mineral and animal species for profit. To it was added an ‘ethnoprospecting’, i.e. a universal census and classification of human species, which are also thought to have ‘different natures’. By becoming ‘as diverse as nature itself’, humanity is broken down into phenotypes rather than geographical origins, and we slide from a descriptive vision to a normative view, predisposed to hierarchy."

It's so not "his" network, but maybe it just should be, so people will finally abandon the #Rochkoverse and put their stuff somewhere safe.

And as you have already discovered, the whole thing isn't even ready to provide the basics that a standard user would just expect in 2024.

#LizCarr has stepped away from acting to advocate against the legalization of assisted suicide. Her latest #documentary, "Better Off Dead?", explores the implications of such laws, focusing on how they endanger disabled individuals.

Travelling to Canada, Carr investigates the effects of permissive assisted suicide laws. There not only the terminally ill can opt for a medically assisted death. This practice is even extended to those facing social deprivation, presenting a grave ethical dilemma.

In Britain, Carr meets with staunch opponents, including Baroness Jane Campbell, who shares a personal story of having a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ order placed on her without consent.
