Robot Orphanage
Mar. 3rd, 2015 08:12 pmSo I'm working on a piece about race, gender, class, shamanism, and nonhuman/augmented personhood (if you're a subscriber to my Patreon, you'll see it tomorrow), and I'm very proud of this structure of this line:
"When we talk about robots, ethics, and care, we're most often in the practice of asking how we'll design robots that will care for Us, while foregoing the corresponding conversation about whether Caring-For is possible without an understanding of Being-Cared-For."
Like, it's definitely not the BEST line in the whole piece, but i like it a lot.
