You know, i think there are certain words like 'illegitimate' that should not be used to describe a person. and certainly, we have come far enough in our technology that our language can evolve, because it has an impact.

More From Aimee Mullins

The illegitimate use of a state by economic interests for their own ends is based upon a preexisting illegitimate power of the state to enrich some persons at the expense of others. eliminate that illegitimate power of giving differential economic benefits and you eliminate or drastically restrict the motive for wanting political influence.
Giving Political Use
One way to think about what psychedelics are is as catalysts for language development. they literally force the evolution of language. you cannot evolve faster than your language because the language defines the culture of meaning. so if there's a way to accelerate the evolution of language then this is real consciousness expansion and it's a permanent thing. the great legacies of the 60's are in attitudes and language. it boils down to doing your own thing, feeling the vibe, ego-trip, blowing your mind.

The epithet beautiful is used by surgeons to describe operations which their patients describe as ghastly, by physicists to describe methods of measurement which leave sentimentalists cold, by lawyers to describe cases which ruin all the parties to them, and by lovers to describe the objects of their infatuation, however unattractive they may appear to the unaffected spectators.

Embedded in every technology there is a powerful idea, sometimes two or three powerful ideas. like language itself, a technology predisposes us to favor and value certain perspectives and accomplishments and to subordinate others. every technology has a philosophy, which is given expression in how the technology makes people use their minds, in how it codifies the world, in which of our senses it amplifies, in which of our emotional and intellectual tendencies it disregards.
Powerful Philosophy Technology
I have no opposition at all to technology. i think technology is a wonderful thing that has to be used thoughtfully, and we can't just assume that every bit of new technology improvesthe quality of life; it's really in how the technology is used. what i am very disturbed about is this trend of everything happening faster and faster and faster and there being more and more general noise in the world, and less and less time for quiet reflection on who we are, and where we're going.
Technology Thinking Reflection
The most revolutionary aspect of technology is its mobility. anybody can learn it. it jumps easily over barriers of race and language. ... the new technology of microchips and computer software is learned much faster than the old technology of coal and iron. it took three generations of misery for the older industrial countries to master the technology of coal and iron. the new industrial countries of east asia, south korea, and singapore and taiwan, mastered the new technology and made the jump from poverty to wealth in a single generation.

I and some colleagues came to the conclusion that as violence in this country was inevitable, it would be wrong and unrealistic for african leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force. it was only when all else had failed, when all channels of peaceful protest had been barred to us, that the decision was made to embark on violent forms of political struggle.

In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. the excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wild life, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.
