i voted other, because i believe, that when new technologies become available to the masses of people, it will still depend onto the motivation and dedication of the single person what one makes out of it. i truly hope that there will be an introduction of an unconditional basic income or that the society as whole will provide everyone with the possibilities to live decently. meaning enought to eat, a nice place to live and access to information, entertainment and spaces where one can evolve one's favourite themes ( hobbies ... ). in a visionairy utopian novel i wrote i dreamed about the society donating everyone a fully autonomous lifeship with aeroponics in it to produce one's own food, 3d printers to produce goods ... or alternately one gets donated a house with all these selfsustaining facilities inside. also one android donated by the global community to everyone who wants one to help operate all the high tech gear.
in the story i also thought about the ones who are not interested at all in computers or networks, do not want any electrical devices near of them. they too would be cared of for example by being donated a piece of land or being allowed in an area to live near nature and grow their food the traditional way.
the title of the novel is "ascende, maima, perma and mary the lifeship". i linked the feedbooks ebook download site to my name.
I voted 'Neither', as equality is human,
not trans cum post human.
You can point to justice, albeit justice is scarce, yet equality is impossible to pin down in any way. One can write, 'justice was served at the trial', however where is equality served?: equal portions at dinner? no, equality is too nebulous.
"Neither. It’s not technologies that affect equality, it’s politics."
- OK, I don't think politics can constrain technology or science or religion.
"Less, because they will increase the opportunities for concentration of power among a few elites."
- I'm tempted by this one, and I do believe there will be "major" upheavals to world politics and social order, (hopefully it will not be too violent - but lessons may be learned even now from what is happening in the middle east?)
"More, because their anarchic networked distribution will break down entrenched power structures."
- So I'm left with this one. I am guessing that equality driven by technology will be undeniable, because the peoples will demand it, and obstinate political heads that stand in the way will inevitably roll . Politics and governments are not so dumb, so they will have to change policy to keep up with innovation and demands for new technologies - all will become transparent and equality will ultimately prevail?
