Dear Fatih Ertugay please see this relevant article which is available on RG:

Dear Emily Gerbrandt ,

Intersectionality is a theoretical framework for understanding how aspects of a person's social and political identities (e.g., gender, race, class, sexuality, ability, physical appearance, height, etc.) might combine to create unique modes of discrimination and privilege.

Posthumanism or post-humanism (meaning "after humanism" or "beyond humanism") is a term with at least seven definitions according to philosopher Francesca Ferrando: Antihumanism: any theory that is critical of traditional humanism and traditional ideas about humanity and the human condition.

Justice is a concept of due, containing the requirement of conformity of the act and retribution: in particular, the conformity of rights and duties, labor and remuneration, merit and their recognition, crime and punishment, the correspondence of the role of various social layers, groups and individuals in society and their social status in it. In economic science - the requirement of equality of citizens in the distribution of a limited resource. Lack of proper correspondence between these entities is assessed as injustice.

Hello Urban; I agree entirely. Your comment should be widely circulated. best regards, Jim Des Lauriers

So far discussions on schizophrenia have inhabited a medical dimension only, with alarmingly poor results limited, as they have always been, to the suppression of symptoms. Psychiatry does not do abstract. It doesn't think to think beyond the next drug. It is possible that the illness represents the internalisation of negative aspects of the world without filters. Years ago people did immense work on the subject (see film The Ruling Class that dealt with shifting identities) but now it is once again the medical model that produces the same old genes, neurones and drugs mantra scoured from experiments on existential rodents.

Theologians have always managed to accommodate any possibility of their choosing, from the ridiculous to the sublime. So why not? Of course such accommodations may be deemed heresies, giving rise to another set of problems....

Also, why do you see a problem specifically with "Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return" due to post-humanism? Entropy spells the same end whether there are post-humans or not.

Dear colleague, One of the issues in this transition is that the divide between humans and non-humans (nature, technology) will collapse and a new category of hybridity will emerge. If we take this hybridity as transhuman condition serious, it will reject any hierarchy I guess. there is still an anthropic principle, but this principle is no longer primarily human. see for inspiration our recent article.

Our take on this "what happens after constantly having been attached to ventilator for 50 years?" :

Good afternoon Jose Luis.

I propose to read the text " The unstoppable march of the robots" of Andres Ortega, editorial Madrid.

Too Kille robot and concept of Eugeni Morozov.

Of the author Ferry Luc, " La revolution transhumnaite.

See you soon

Shameless self-promotion: you might want to read the Intro to “European Posthumanism”, written by the founding directors of the Critical Posthumanism Network (including myself):

How we can image time or speak about it without using a clock?

Time is only the name of ticking of clock. Does time has arrow? yes, it has, but time gets arrow from clock.
