Call for #contribution

(policyreview.info/node/1541) for the #Glossary of #decentralised #technosocial systems (policyreview.info/glossary) - a project aimed at building a shared vocabulary on the social, technical,
economic, political aspects of decentralised, distributed or sovereign technologies.
We invite contributions on the emancipatory, counter-hegemonic, subversive potential of digital technologies at the intersection of
computer science, law philosophy, social sciences. The Glossary is a long-term collaborative project which will keep evolving over time,
enriched periodically with more terms and open to new contributors. Its scope is to build a foundational vocabulary for academic and
non-academic discourse on technologies, sociotechnical systems and practices of decentralisation.
We invite proposals for new terms in the form of short abstracts (max. 200 words) to be later developed into a short glossary entry. The
compiled entries will be collected in a special section of the Internet Policy Review. (policyreview.info/)

For expression of interest email to: v.ferrari@uva.nl - by the 21st of March

@trinsec @freemo meant to post this as a reply to your earlier toots - the vagaries of mastodon still elude me....

I wouldn't say that "there are only two sexes" is nonsense. That there are two poles, masculine and feminine, with varying shades of sexuality and physicality in between, seems a fair way to put it. This is the perspective I hold.

If people want to move outside that, fair enough, don't think it's realistic to assume that everyone can or should educate themselves on every way of life that people might choose.

Trinsec, I see where you're coming from, although I think many people hold reasonable common sense notions regarding sexuality. I don't think it's fair to categorise people who tend towards natural gender roles as uneducated (not including bigots who want to hate on anything they don't understand.)

imagine being short GME when you could be long BTC

For all the talk of tolerance and diversity conformity of thought is rigourously enforced in the mainstream.

It's only taken a few hours on Mastodon to appreciate once again how heterogeneous people's views really are.
