Our project will rely more heavily on interaction with visitors in this manner rather than on the use of text #CollapseLab

[Luke Rothwell @LukeCollapseLab]

Science Gallery uses mediators to explain exhibits and interact with visitors. This is effective because it starts a discussion #CollapseLab

"That even the one (paradigm) that sweetly shapes one's comfortable worldview is a tremendously limited understanding" #CollapseLab

[Luke Rothwell @LukeCollapseLab]

The idea of information flows ties in with the transpolicy idea. Information can make a bigger difference than we would think #CollapseLab

[Luke Rothwell @LukeCollapseLab]

It is a simple machine which somehow has incredible power. Without the emergency release button we would be at the mercy of it #CollapseLab

[Luke Rothwell @LukeCollapseLab]

Ad Infinitum makes us consider more closely our relationship with machines and what it would be like to be controlled by them #CollapseLab

[Luke Rothwell @LukeCollapseLab]

The only way to escape is to have somebody else replace you on the other side. The human is "used" instead of being the "user" #CollapseLab

[Luke Rothwell @LukeCollapseLab]

it locks a human arm in and produces electric shocks which intensify until a crank is turned, feeding the machine with power #CollapseLab

[Luke Rothwell @LukeCollapseLab]

Ad Infinitum is a parasitic robot made by @plopesresearch which feeds off energy produced by humans #CollapseLab @SciGalleryDub

Overpopulation #CollapseLab

[Luke Rothwell @LukeCollapseLab]

Do we really want robots to have human values, given our capacity for evil and selfishness? #CollapseLab

"ours is the first in which a single species holds the future of the biosphere in its hands" https://t.co/eXFaA8TgBM #CollapseLab

Clearly there will be members of society who will react badly to extreme changes he reminds us https://t.co/wE3pLgcMnf #CollapseLab

and Zaretsky's interest in introducing artificial diversity would inevitably cause problems in an imperfect world #CollapseLab

[Luke Rothwell @LukeCollapseLab]

Friedersdorf points out that being accepting of diversity means being "comfortable with existing difference in the world" #CollapseLab

[Luke Rothwell @LukeCollapseLab]

Zaretsky raises questions about the ethics of editing genes but seems to think he is above them https://t.co/fKo4QL0CLo #CollapseLab

[Luke Rothwell @LukeCollapseLab]

But in the real world it would be a cruel and idiotic thing to do for the sake of pushing boundaries and making statements #CollapseLab

[Luke Rothwell @LukeCollapseLab]

Adam Zaretsky wants to manufacture diversity because in a perfect world a child with penises for hair would be accepted #CollapseLab
