Petals: Theorizing anthropology vis-a-vis cyberspace

To speculate about theorizing anthropology vis-a-vis cyberspace, I'd first like to suggest that human bodyminds are like computers (input - output devices) ...


"Humans are experiential, feeling, thinking, remembering, imagining, sentient, networking, idiosyncratic, embodied, procreating computers {conscious, cultural, distributed input-think/feel-output bodymind systems that can have babies and can self-program (“add/remove programs?”;) / learn / plan and that also have been 'selected for' / “encoded” in ancestral environments via Darwinian natural selection, and by family and community (acculturation)}. (Posted on July 31 on this blog)"


- and then explore the idea that human communication is like networking computers, sharing software - language{s)}, but ...



concepts of determinism - pairbondage, troopbondage, abidance, ycleptance, foredoomance - adhibition (engagement), inhibition, explication (John Money 1988) - and where sexuality is central ...



and where cultural communication is shared software
