I wanted to collect together some posts over the years on the inter-connected ideas of morphological and lifeway diversity, on prosthetic self-determination (the transhumanoids describe this as "morphological freedom," while for me the topic connects to the simple recognition that all culture is prosthetic and all prostheses are culture), and on the variations of eugenicism one inevitably encounters in futurological discourse. I realize that you can see some development here, especially around the notion of consent, and that these positions are therefore not perfectly consistent. I have anthologized posts on feminist and animal rights topics elsewhere, but some queer stuff and pro-choice stuff and resistance to the racist war on (some) drugs also creeps into these posts as a matter of course.
