Aesthetics

Why does one so like to revert.


In posthumanism, it is no longer possible or necessary to separate humans from nature.
Not about about the end of man or machine.
Decentralization of power structures to garner otherness.  


Posthuman, the end of humans? 
Arrogance in our self-belief of the superiority of humans?
Radical shifts in consciousness creating a post-gender world- death to the human?


End of the world? 
Apocalyptic, or despotic visions by technology?


A cyborg is the modification of the human mind and body through technology.


Humankind beyond humanism, something dangerously-centered "man"?


Humanism it is, but in posthumanism humans no longer enjoy the privileged dominance over the environment, animals, or other species.


Humanism places complete faith in humans, but for posthumanism; are technological advances seen as human progress, or "progress" on the environment, other humans?


Hence posthumanism is intrinsically different from the posthuman
Posthumanism cites humanism as the root cause of environmental and social problems.
There is a no holistic intertwining-global world.
We are therefore, to make new discoveries.


For things to be fluid and malleable, there is a need for something to rise up, to refute against humanity's need to categorize.
That dynamicity is in- us.


It is all about empowerment; a fundamental control over self-awareness, the individual or collective destiny, that we are in control of things.


Posthumanism is about the society's progression beyond the limits of a human; the harmful boundaries of humanism.


It is encompassing the global world.


Posthumanism is a discourse of unification, rejecting universalism.
Posthumanism accepts difference, transgression, uncertainty, irrationality and the irrepressible. 
All of whom which rejects patriarchy.
Posthumanism rejects the human simplification of the gender, rejecting male or human ascendancy. Hence feminism brings about an end to patriarchy, and an equal world with gender equality.
Feminism on the equality of humans.


Until we have the courage to recognize what is cruel- the victim human or animal, there is no better to this world.
Action on either side sets back the progression of humanity.


Feminism is an oppression of men and women and onto a less-gendered world for both men and women, onto the destination of holistic humans.
Animal rights end the cruel exploitations of animals.
Environmentalism ends the annihilation of nature.


In the posthumanist condition, how will we live and the kind of present we want to create for ourselves? 
Will we continue to exploit and threaten the relationships between ourselves and the natural world? 


Art must be the exemplar.
