Design

Curious what you think are the best ways to describe design when it is no longer human centric?

One of my favourite terms is "Posthuman" design theory – think it was coined by Rosi Braidotti, which challenges us to rethink human-centered perspectives. 

This is not posthuman in the accelerationist / technocentric 'human-merging-with-tech' sense. The term posthuman here refers to moving past (post) the boundaries between human, animal, and machine; thereby decentering the human. 

It embraces the interconnectedness of all things – urging us to design with a broader ecological and ethical scope.

This kind of design philosophy instills a much needed responsibility and ethics towards the planet and all of its beings, but most importantly I think it unlocks totally original lines of thinking and futures.

regm,

I've been memeing a lot recently, but for most of the past 10ish years I've been working (a lot) on honing a non-human centered design philosophy. Started sharing fragments of this thinking in /design and /webtree recently and I'm curious what the regens think? 

Focusing on impact is great, but I don't think much truly changes unless we cultivate regenerative visions; growing new ideas that are based on rethinking the roots. By prioritizing the interconnectedness of all beings and systems, we can create hopeful, inclusive, regenerative solutions for the benefit of our planet and future generations (of all beings).

Fully aware of how necessary it is for us to banish Moloch ASAP and how to do so: We must raise awareness about fundamental emotional needs

Respect. As long as humans are recognized as an important part of the whole, great. I have a serious problem with anti-human sentiment. 

That said, I believe human needs are the only shelling point we can agree on globally. We can scientifically determine what is good and what is bad by evaluating whether it helps meet people's needs or inhibits it. 

Our needs are intrinsically intertwined with the needs of our habitat. So if we tune in correctly to our needs, we will take good care of the environment too.

not talking about a project here :) more about a philosophy.

Well , let me first ask about it ?
It's a project about human being and make the plants better place ?
Or web3 project ?
I really confused about your project man , it's not clear for me ,
With respect !

I’m sure you like the visual concepts of Mycofi book after I read all that ✨
