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.

Society often uses cultural narratives to aestheticize what unsettles it. Are you ready to see testimony in the spectacle?

#introduction

👋 Hello kolektiva.social and Fediverse! New instance, new intro, etc. etc.

I'm a 🦵🏼 white 🇪🇺 European queer nonbinary male who's naive enough to think he can make the world a better place, yet cynical enough to joke about it.

I'm increasingly convinced that relentless activism and bottom-up change is the only way up for this wretched society. I'm mostly invested in climate activism (purely theoretically, of course), but I realize much more is needed.

In the process of turning from ally to accomplice.

I'm deeply into music, including but not limited to stoner doom, queercore, psychedelic cumbia, 70's funk, unorthodox black metal, hardcore punk and its offspring (NOT The Offspring), jazz (the weird kind), ambient, and anything with microtones. Yeah. This is why I dread the question "what music do you like?"

Oh yeah, I'm also a philosophy PhD in two deep deep rabbit holes: posthumanist environmentalism and eroticism/intimacy/nonmonogamy. Trying to make one tunnel system out of them.

I occasionally write musings on my blog https://carefullmusings.bearblog.dev/blog/, and I've published a few Dutch-language essays on https://bijnaderinzien.com/author/teun-van-son/.

I also think FOSS and Linux are pretty cool – if not co-opted by obnoxious libertarians.

I'm happy to be on kolektiva.social mostly for the custom emoji (obviously).

"The Growing Political Fight Between Transhumanists & Posthumanists"

https://www.noemamag.com/a-new-political-compass/

> The politics of left versus right no longer make sense when the future of all earthly life is at stake.

This deep article which I recommend reading in its entirety, brings a new interesting division or, rather, axis, through which to measure one's political position. Instead of the typical right-wing vs left-wing, he proposes up-wing (which would be transhumanists in its extreme) vs down-wing (post-humanists in its extreme).
Seeing where we are moving to, I think this is a more useful way to look at politics. What do you think?

Digital autopoiesis refers to the self-producing and self-maintaining dynamics of digital systems that mirror the autopoietic characteristics of biological life. In this context, a digital system—such as an artificial agent or algorithmic network—generates and regenerates its own components, boundaries, and operational rules through recursive internal processes. Unlike traditional software, which relies on externally imposed design and control, digitally autopoietic systems exhibit operational closure and structural coupling with their environments, enabling adaptive, emergent behavior without centralized oversight. This concept bridges cybernetics, systems theory, and artificial life, raising foundational questions about autonomy, cognition, and the nature of digital agency.
