Nasum - Parting is such sweet sorrow

Ball bearings roll To the yaw of Talons clutching As drone androids Obey machines Satan touching

Deus EX - Augmented nicknames /slurs

The augmented are given many names during the play through of Deus Ex Mankind Divided and some are easy to see their origins. Others have a little bit more to them - Aug - obviously short for augmented, nothing special there. A descriptive slang rather than slur, though can be used as the latter. Clank - Slur, for the metal inhuman sound some augs make. As if the augmented person isn't human anymore. They are a robot, a machine without feeling. Robot - Slur - see same above. Hanzer - bastardisation of the word enhanced- aka Enhanced Human. Possibly more slang than slur, but depends on situation, as augs sometimes use it amongst themselves, yet often 'hanzer bastard' is heard too. Wrench - Specific to those augs who others think work for the 'man' . Often used on Jensen, because he unlike many others, has a job and dresses well. Those that work with the system put a wrench in progress. Does not match to the slang term for Wrench now, which is someone without class.

Starting with fire and clothes, we looked for ways to ward off the elements….Telephones and airplanes collapsed distance. Antibiotics kept death-dealing microbes at bay. Now, however, we have started a wholesale process of aiming our technologies inward. Now our technologies have started to merge with our minds, our memories, our metabolisms, our personalities, our progeny and perhaps our souls. Serious people have embarked on changing humans so much that they call it a new kind of engineering evolution—one that we direct for ourselves.

Nasum  -  The Idiot Parade

[zmkccommonplace]

In Our Posthuman Future, Francis Fukuyama argued that the absence of any Christian concept of a transcendent soul placing a stark ontological barrier between the animal and human in China, (which enabled restrictions on individual liberty such as the One Child Policy that would have been unthinkable in the Post-Christian West), the Chinese would have far fewer inhibitions about genetically engineering a race of super-beings than Westerners still constrained (although rapidly less so) by Christianity and its successor ideologies.
