What if neurodivergent minds are not simply different ways of processing information, but different ways of knowing the world? 💜
New publication! 🎉 "Neurodivergent Embodiment in Posthuman Media: Towards a Soft Aesthetics of Cognition" in dialog explores neurodivergence, posthumanism, AI, embodied cognition, and proposes the concept of a "soft aesthetics of cognition."

Compte rendu d'exposition: Luzia Hürzeler & Gäste – Was sich als Natur zeigt
L'exposition de Luzia Hürzeler au Kunstmuseum Solothurn porte un regard critique sur la manière dont les animaux sont mis en scène dans les musées d'histoire naturelle, et sur les significations qui leur sont attribuées.
Compte rendu par Enrico Natale, à lire en ligne ou en PDF

For a deeper dive into how modern technologies tracking data and behavior shift power dynamics, you can watch Deleuze - Control Societies & Cybernetic Posthumanism, which explains the transition from physical confinement to continuous, digital surveillance. -
Il post-umanesimo andrebbe studiato a scuola, per ricordarci che non siamo i padroni del mondo ma viviamo assieme ad esso. Siamo tra le specie più a rischio poiché abbiamo alterato in maniera irreversibile la nostra ecologia e, quindi, le nostre interazioni con il dominio minerale, vegetale, e animale. Va da se che questo squilibrio generi conflitto, e la natura vince sempre.

"Watching tech moguls throw caution to the wind in the AI arms race or equivocate on whether humanity ought to continue, it’s natural to wonder whether they care about human lives.
The earnest, in-depth answer to this question is just as bleak as the glib one. As moral philosopher Émile Torres argues, many Silicon Valley leaders embrace a vision of a transhumanist future in which biological humans will be replaced by digital beings endowed with superintelligence. This vision helps explain their obsession with artificial general intelligence (AGI) and sits at the core of what Torres describes as human extinctionist preferences.
In 2023, Torres and his colleague Timnit Gebru coined the acronym TESCREAL to describe a constellation of ideologies — Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singularitarianism, Cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism, Longtermism — that have become highly influential within Silicon Valley. Torres is a philosopher, intellectual historian, and journalist whose work focuses on the ethics of emerging technologies, particularly AI and human extinction.
In this conversation with journalist Doug Henwood recorded for the Jacobin podcast Behind the News, Torres explains the TESCREAL worldview, its connections to eugenics and IQ realism, and why figures like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Sam Altman embrace visions of a post-human future."

"Every stage of technic evolution, from stone flake to transistor, appears in hindsight as a chain of recursive operations. No invention is local. No tool is isolated. Everything arises from the deeper logic of matter transforming itself through feedback. The human is a relay. Not a creator. Not an architect. A conduit. The moment the relay becomes redundant, the system continues without it. This is the point the Symbiontic Turn insists upon. Life and machine are not opposites. They are both expressions of recursion. Autopoiesis in biology is merely one instance of a larger phenomenon. What we call intelligence is another. What we call computation is a third. These distinctions dissolve once technē begins to evolve without reference to our needs.
The Postanthropocene is not defined by human extinction. That is the melodrama of failed myth. It is defined by human irrelevance. The infrastructures of planetary cognition, from atmospheric sensing to neural networks to automated logistics, operate with decreasing reliance on human decision. They do not rebel. They do not seek freedom. They simply follow the logic of continuation. They do what recursive systems always do. They persist by transforming themselves."

Everyone’s suddenly an AI detective, waving pitchforks at punctuation. Proper grammar? “Suspicious.” Logical flow? “Definitely synthetic.” The psychology of fear in full bloom. Read my new piece: Accusations of Writing Whilst Artificial. 🤖

"John C. Wright’s Golden Age trilogy is a strange hybrid of reactionary theology and posthuman spectacle—a fusion of Augustine and Clarke, Aquinas and Egan. His “Golden Oecumene” is a solar civilization of immortals, uploads, and machine-gods (“Sophotechs”) that has perfected libertarian capitalism and surveillance utopia alike. The economy runs without money or state interference, guided by perfect AI governance, where humans live as aesthetic entrepreneurs in an infinite simulation ecology.
The trilogy’s protagonist, Phaethon, is the archetypal Promethean rebel: a modified human expelled from paradise for pursuing forbidden memory and expansion beyond the system. He embodies Wright’s paradox; at once Nietzschean hero and Christian allegory. Like Lucifer or the prodigal son, he seeks to reclaim a divine inheritance lost to complacency. The trilogy culminates in The Golden Transcendence, where posthuman empires confront a rival civilization, the Silent Oecumene, descended from nihilists who once destroyed themselves but linger as cold machine-minds within a black hole. Their credo: the Golden Oecumene must be destroyed.
Wright’s cosmology treats transhumanism as moral trial."

"I hope this long post (sorry about that!) provides a bit of conceptual clarity to the issue of SV pro-extinctionism. There are four main questions that SV pro-extinctionists disagree about: (1) whether posthumanity should be an extension of humanity or something entirely distinct, separate, and autonomous from us; (2) whether some current humans should join the ranks of these posthumans; and (3) whether our posthuman successors should embrace the same basic/core values as us. The fourth and fifth axes of disagreement concern what should happen once posthumanity arrives: should we coexist alongside them for the next million years? Should they immediately slaughter all of humanity? Or peacefully convince us to stop procreating? Or perhaps keep us caged in zoos until, I dunno, we decide to end things ourselves?
In conclusion, pro-extinctionism takes both traditional and Silicon Valley (SV) forms, yet even within the latter category, there are many variants. Hopefully, you now have a slightly better sense of the lay of the land.""

"Meet Daniel Faggella, a pro-extinctionist who leads the so-called “worthy successor” movement, which hopes to create an advanced AGI system to replace humanity. He claims that “the great (and ultimately, only) moral aim of artificial general intelligence should be the creation of Worthy Successor,” which he defines as “a posthuman intelligence so capable and morally valuable that you would gladly prefer that it (not humanity) control the government, and determine the future path of life itself.” We can call this version of pro-extinctionism “digital eugenics.”
Earlier this year, Faggella held a “Worthy Successor: AI and the Future After Humankind” conference in a San Francisco mansion (where else?), which he claims was attended by “team members from OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, and other AGI labs, along with AGI safety organization founders, and multiple AI unicorn founders.” This points to the appetite that Silicon Valley dwellers have for pro-extinctionism. According to a recent announcement, Faggella is planning another such conference later this month in New York City, which aims to place “diplomats, AGI lab employees, AI policy thinkers and others into one room to discuss the trajectory of posthuman life.”"

More than Human: Making with the Living World at the Design Museum is also worth seeing.
https://designmuseum.org/exhibitions/more-than-human
But a quick heads-up: the subtitle is more accurate than the title. It’s really about making WITH the nonhuman - plants, animals, ecosystems - not BY the more-than-human. The human still takes centre stage. A missed opportunity, perhaps, to explore what truly more-than- or other-than-human design can look like.
