writing is the technology of cyborgs
the breakdown in distinctions is part of the struggle for language
is struggle against perfect communication
struggle against the preference in masculine in the construction of meaning
the apparent contradiction is part of that struggle
pleasure in the confusion of boundaries
struggle for ambiguity
technology is liberating
writing, the technology of cyborgs
makes it hard to write philosophy
writing is undermining self
self that emerges in human culture
the problem is
ambiguity incorporates these unambiguous meanings
dualist metaphysics
dissolution
self-realization makes one of many possible senses
the hope of a monstrous world
"without gender"
narratives running ahead of lived experience?
but what's the perfect meaning of "human"?
how might we use this as an argument against global capitalism?
here I am writing I am cyborg I am in some ways just an "I" but am both many and no one
