On Public-Facing Scholarship

So by now you’re likely to have encountered something about the NYT Op-Ed Piece calling for a field of study that focuses on the impact of AI and algorithmic systems, a stance that elides the existence of not only communications and media studies people who focus on this work, but the whole entire disciplines of…

I'm pleased to announce that my paper, “The Develes Engynnes: Technological Textures of Life on Earth and in Space” is now available in the fall 2023 Journal of Space Philosophy. The above link is directly to the paper; the link below is to the issue:

VOLUME 12 NUMBER 1 - Kepler Space Institute

Here's the abstract:

“ The failure of a multiplicity of spacecraft designs in a variety of ways highlights some of the challenges for human beings utterly dependent upon technology for survival in space. A thought experiment is formulated to explore human dependency on technology in extraterrestrial space, in contrast to human survival on Earth. Don Ihde’s conception of the technological texture of contemporary life is employed to examine the nature of human dependency upon technology in space. Technologies are shown to embody scientific presuppositions, and some scientific presuppositions are discussed. The consequences of human life shaped by technologies, in turn shaped by scientific presuppositions are examined, with their significance for human societies in space considered.”

The paper discusses many issues germane to philosophy of technology. Among other ideas, in this paper I introduce the concept of techno-dysphoria, which I define as follows: “…the use of a counterintuitive technology accompanied by depression, anxiety, and agitation.”

I think this is a potentially useful concept as most of us have experienced this at one time or another, but for which we have not, to date, had a term to explicitly identify the experience.
