This is outside the confines of this cyborg discussion, so forgive me, please. But it's what I think of continually whenever Pluto in Aquarius comes up, which is how Pluto may choose to tear down and rebuild political structures as defined by the Aquarius/Leo axis. And when *I* think of the Aquarius/Leo axis as it pertains to political structures I think about despots (on the Leo side) and the kinds of communitarian structures that prioritize collective needs over individual ones (on the Aquarius side), which can be good to a certain point and then go very, very bad. I think we already have plenty of examples of the former, but fewer examples of the latter on a society-wide scale. But I wonder if we will see them emerge as the pendulum swings back and forth looking for some new homeostasis.
I saw The Creator over the weekend and honestly, it's incredible. The way it looks, but also the ideas it's putting out there. How an AI future could look. Highly recommend if you haven't seen it yet. Very similar vibes to your sentiments here.
This is an outstanding analysis of AI and humanity in the light of Pluto in Aquarius. I love how you work Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto and the writings of Audre Lorde into your reflections. Hierarchies crumbled and took on new shapes as I read, and the resulting horizontal body politic had me thinking of Deleuze. Thank you for this. It offers a lot for the imagination.
Fascinating read! I need to go back to Harraway. I also think about Philip K Dick and his constant reiteration of the notion that human is as human does.

I haven’t seen it! Ty for the recommendation.
That last line though...
Love this. Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed, Azur!
That kicker was such a gut punch, whew.
