im going to start out with my least favorite manifesto and end with the best so here goes.
Cyborg manifesto-
in reference to paragraphs 1-5 we are not currently cyborgs but could be moving closer to that as the world progesses, which would suggest that we as humans are getting smarter, but i feel that this is not the case please watch idocracy. Cyborg world cannot help to have a genisis because it comes from the current world and there must also have an end; unless the aurthor is talking about a completely made up world in which case it still has a genisis.
in refernce to paragraphs 5-9 this not necessily true considering the cyborg is both machine and organic. What parts are organic? there in lies the flaw of the cyborg. This essay makes no sense considering the "cyborg" started out as fact and seems to be a fictional character. " many branches of femist culture affirm the pleasure of connection of human and other living creatures" -- what is she talking about wicca that is a religious/belife based practice not feminism. as far as animal rights we as people have a responisiblity to protect the earth and that includes the animals on it. Paragraph8- so cyborgs are notw animasl and machine? and why do they need partners of any kind male/female? paragraph 9 who builds the cyborgs? people? what happens to them? are cyborgs smart enough to fix themselves? then they would need brains from old humans there fore harboring old ideals and thoughts (especally since the author keeps suggesting compaininship of some sort) with this in mind cyborgs will not make anything better... unless you can make them with orgaic parts that don't have emotion, but that would be impossible of you want them to evolve.
Dogme 95-
I love their ideals. do they still follow their own rules? have lars or thomas made any films that are available to the public?
The futurist manifest- this is by far the best and most interesting manifesto of the three all i can say is it sounds like a night of cocaine, hard A, and anime watching.
