but i can't speak for Cosmotech as if were all my thing, as it is not. there are some crazy interesting points of disagreement between YH/Confucius/Laozi/SImondon/Stiegler/Uncle Nick and many others. i'm divided on many of these myself. and so down there in the Engineering Department is where sparks are flying, and we are trying to build our own little crew of XCOM ronin-soldiers to survive the breakup of the postmodern world.

so don't quote me too closely, is all i'm saying. just that i'm very much enjoying sharing these meme thoughts. the question of the relation between technological innovation and social order is very much a live question, and open for discussion. Who Discovers Who, or What, and Tech/Culture is all a part of it. i think there is a sweet spot to be found in a mechanological society equipped with a particular kind of moral metaphysics, but the finer details are all very much TBD.

have to head out for a bit, catch up with you guys later.

Gilbert Simondon

He inspired both Deleuze and Latour.
Phenomonology applied to technology and technical artifacts.

A real forerunner when it come to understand what are the factors driving the evolution of technical objects.

He is mostly unkwnown even in academic circles, and dropping his name will boost your street credibility in STS-related conferences.

Will also give you the opportunity to sparkle the interest of engineers.
