Back on March 13th, 2017, I gave an invited guest lecture, titled:
TECHNOLOGY, DISABILITY, AND HUMAN AUGMENTATION
‘Please join Dr. Ariel Eisenberg’s seminar, “American Identities: Disability,” and [the] Interdisciplinary Studies Department for an hour-long conversation with Damien Williams on disability and the normalization of technology usage, “means-well” technological innovation, “inspiration porn,” and other topics related to disability and technology.’

It was kind of an extemporaneous riff on my piece “On the Ins and Outs of Human Augmentation,” and it gave me the opportunity to namedrop Ashley Shew, Natalie Kane, and Rose Eveleth.

The outline looked a little like this:

Outline: "The Minds of Others: What Will Be Known by and Owed To Nonhuman Persons?"

wolvensnothere:

afutureworththinkingabout:

This summer I participated in SRI International’s Technology and Consciousness Workshop Series. The meetings were held under the auspices of the Chatham House Rule, which means that there are many things I can’t tell you about them, such as who else was there, or what they said in the context of the meetings; however I can tell you what I talked about. In light of this recent piece in The Boston Globe and the ongoing developments in the David Slater/PETA/Naruto case, I figured that now was a good time to do so.

I presented three times—once on interdisciplinary perspectives on minds and mindedness; then on Daoism and Machine Consciousness; and finally on a unifying view of my thoughts across all of the sessions. This is my outline and notes for the first of those talks.

I. Overview
In a 2013 aeon Article Michael Hanlon said he didn’t think we’d ever solve “The Hard Problem,” and there’s been some skepticism about it, elsewhere. I’ll just say that said question seems to completely miss a possibly central point. Something like consciousness is, and what it is is different for each thing that displays anything like what we think it might be. If we manage to generate at least one mind that is similar enough to what humans experience as “conscious” that we may communicate with it, what will we owe it and what would it be able to ask from us? How might our interactions be affected by the fact that its mind (or their minds) will be radically different from ours? What will it be able to know that we cannot, and what will we have to learn from it?

So I’m going to be talking today about intersectionality, embodiment, extended minds, epistemic valuation, phenomenological experience, and how all of these things come together to form the bases for our moral behavior and social interactions. To do that, I’m first going to need ask you some questions:

Is SEO AutoPilot A Good SEO Tool?


Is SEO AutoPilot A Good SEO Tool? - https://shinyobjectreviews.com/seo-tools-2/seo-autopilot/discount-bonus/ - It's not very often I am impressed with new SEO tools especially if it's for mass link building, after hearing Simon Dadia's glowing endorsement of SEO AutoPilot, I decided to hit the developers up. I went through a screening process which made defecting to the KGB seem tame.

wolvensnothere:

The Android Sisters - [Treasury Wizards]

Every so often, I like to remind you that this exists:

ANNOUNCER: And Now it’s time for “Frank Talk, With a Frankie.”

VOICE 1: This is Angel.

VOICE 2: This is Angel.

ANGELS TOGETHER: We are the Android Sisters. What is Your Question?

CALLER: All of reality exists in our minds. Is that true?

ANGEL: What is your Intelligence Rating?

CALLER: I’m classified as a 5.5555.

ANGEL: You understand, we only speak to you on the level that you can comprehend.

CALLER: I appreciate that.

ANGEL: For those of you watching out there adjust your I.T. Rating to–

ANGELS TOGETHER: 5.5555. What is your question?

CALLER: I already Asked it.

ANGEL: What is your question?

CALLER: I said I already asked it.

ANGELS TOGETHER: What is your question?

CALLER: …

ANGELS TOGETHER: What is your question?

CALLER: Oh, all right. I want to know if reality is in my mind or is it out there? I mean, change my mind and I could change reality. Right? Wrong? What? I’m confused.

ANGELS TOGETHER: Dear Confused:

ANGEL: Briefly, reality is merely what everyone agrees Is Real.

ANGEL: What everyone agrees is Not real, does not exist.

CONFUSED: Who programmed you?

ANGELS TOGETHER: Who Programmed You?

CONFUSED: How should I know? Everyone. I don’t know. I’m still confused.

ANGELS TOGETHER: Dear Still Confused:

ANGEL: You are confusing the Symbol for Reality.

ROBOTIC VOICE-OVER: Re-AL-ity!

ANGEL: Money is a good example.

RVO: Money!

STILL CONFUSED: What About money? I Like money.

RVO: Money, Money!

ANGEL: I will use two pieces of paper as an example. Can you see this?

STILL CONFUSED: I see One piece of paper; the other’s money.

ANGELS TOGETHER: Two Pieces Of Paper.

STILL CONFUSED: What?

ANGEL: Here are two pieces of paper. Both, the same size, both, just paper.

RVO: Paper.

ANGEL: Humans are obsessed with money.

RVO: Money, money, Money-Money.

STILL CONFUSED: Not all humans, just some of of us. M-most of us…

ANGEL: One piece of paper is worth Five-Hundred Solar Credits, the other is worthless. Not even worth a Solar Centavo.

ANGEL: Do you know why?

STILL CONFUSED: Sure: One is a piece of money, and the other’s a piece of paper.

ANGELS TOGETHER: They Are Both. Paper.

STILL CONFUSED: Yeah. Right.

ANGEL: One has been

ANGELS TOGETHER: Blessed

ANGEL: By the Treasury Wizards.

ANGEL: The other, Has Not.

STILL CONFUSED: That’s it?!

RVO: That’s It.

ANGEL: The Symbol is controlling your mind.

STILL CONFUSED: Hm… I see.

ANGEL: Oh! Our time is up! This is Angel.

ANGEL: This is Angel.

ANGELS TOGETHER: We are the Android Sisters. Until Next Time.

"Wordpress Security - How to Stop Hackers" - Udemy Review 2017


Review of Udemy’s “WordPress Security – How to Stop Hackers” By Andrew Williams https://shinyobjectreviews.com/udemy/how-to-stop-hackers/ - - So What Is In This Course?

The intro poses a question: Is WordPress secure? Yes (for the most part), or WordPress wouldn't have such a huge share of the CMS market. WordPress does have a security term that will make the public aware as soon as an exploit is found. Users can make WordPress insecure and so can poorly code / outdated plugins. WordPress as a core CMS is quite stable. He follows this question up by going through every significant vulnerability and hack you can think of, from using the “admin” username to MYSQL injections. Depending on how much you know about WordPress security, this may or may not be news. The Instructor covers enough ground to where you will have a working knowledge of the treats.
