you imagine what it would be like to live without
determination to have to be a man
or being a woman the first time I
I asked that question
I was 14 years old at the time I was
an adolescent somewhat self-conscious
like most of the girls in my
age was already beginning to think despite the
I institute the opinions of the rest of the
companions about our bodies and
Then a whole series of
insecurities in such a way that I
I got to internalize what I was worth
depended more on my physical appearance than on
the integrity of my person you know a
I was very good when I was little
student mostly because it was
too tomboy to play with
girls but too
maripily to play with children by
I abandoned myself to reading
fortunately for me one afternoon of
summer in the library I found
a book that had such power that I
life changed forever that book
contained an idea that gave me so much
energy that lasted for many, many years
that idea so simple and at the same time
so revolutionary is that there is the
gender and that gender is a construct
social is a cultural artifact and for
both surmountable and modifiable
and that ‘s what he wants to say to me
what it meant was a deep
understanding that that discomfort of mine
sense did not depend so much on a
objective reality that depended on the
others or that depended on me and meant
that there was not something wrong with me
interior but that there was a
gender mandate that affected us
set of women by the single
made of it and for me that idea as
I tell you it was revolutionary because
I understood that none of us was what
sufficiently high or low or blonde or
brunette or voluptuous or thin to be
good and therefore to be free
this book
is the myth of the beauty of naomi wolf
as I tell you a book that changed me
life and that was tremendously
interesting because it made me take
feminist consciousness what for me was
tremendously liberating he made me give
account about a lot of issues
in my life
It also made me realize that
gender borders could be
knocked down
through technology and you could
ask yourself how can it be that
technology can tear down borders
of the genre well first of all we would have
to begin by explaining some notions
basic and primarily along
our recent history has been
understood sex as a dimension
biological as a natural dimension
against the genre that on the other hand as
he said is a cultural construct this
cultural construct means that you can
be modified and this construct
involves a whole series of
roles that are patterns of behavior
this differentiation was enormously useful
for feminism because what
it meant that you could criticize with
hardness the gender inequalities to
same time that we recognized that there is
a biological difference of biological order
or natural order or at least
apparently this idea had so much
power that served to generate
social movement also served to
generate political agenda and served to
that at times like the current one we are
living a huge awakening of the
consciousness where people literally
has taken the streets saying enough is enough
in the face of gender inequalities and
facing what we call oppression
patriarchal before this hundreds of
women thousands of women throughout
history had been mobilized to
promote gender equality and
promote equal rights
helping the rest to be able to
have a list of options available
much greater than we had for
that time
wife or mother be holy be poor be
crazy or be a prostitute thanks to all
thanks to all of them today many
of us we have the right to health
we have the right to education we have
right to have our own
income and we have the right to take
our own decisions without having
to go to the stake
obviously still very much missing
way to go in fact to follow
the current trend we will have to
wait until the year 2000 168 for
eliminate the salary barrier to
eliminate the wage gap
this probably means that the
humanity will arrive at Mars before
women achieve equality
salary, this means that
women we will arrive together with
the males to Mars doing the same
work and therefore perceiving a lower
retribution and obviously this can not
be but this is not the only problem
but we have other problems
added and one specifically that for me
is one of the most relevant and has
to do with the dependence on the
women in relation to function
reproductive of the species ie the
reproduction of the species is linked to
the reproductive and biological function of
women some visionary authors
as for example donna haraway that in the
year 1983 wrote a manifesto so
revolutionary like the cyborg manifesto
said that the origin of the oppression of
the women was precisely
in this reproductive function I today
I think that if we want the technology
could you help us
and detach ourselves from these determinations
biological of the genus
it’s more
and if I told you that becoming cyborg is
the next stage of our evolution
biological and if we thought that we are already
totally immersed in a process of
Hybridization with the machine no doubt
some of us are living a whole process
of technological acceleration where it is very
important that we understand the dimension
exponential of the change by putting
only one example elapsed eight
thousand years between the agrarian revolution and
the industrial revolution but only
nine years between the creation of internet
and the complete sequencing of the genome
human which is very little time of
follow this trend is very likely
that only in a few decades
we are in a position to be able to manufacture
machines that will be so smart that
have the ability to improve very
quickly and recursively
deploying a whole series of
capabilities and potentials
previously seen in humans and that
until now they were only attributed to
humans
is more there is also a high
possibility that we’ll start soon
to live with intelligences
artificial ones that will be so sophisticated
that will be hard to distinguish from
the natives will use computers
quantum that will increase
exponentially our ability to
computation and we will use the DNA as
storage mechanism
In parallel we will see grow in a
so brutal our ability to
communication and connection that we will live
an expansion of consciousness never
before view creating the whole of the
humanity the next evolutionary layer of
our brain until now that was the
neocortex in an exo brain that we
connect to all of humanity we could
think even that brain that already
is outside of our body that is
outside technically of the subject we
will lead us to rethink how we have thought
until now that were the individuals that
were the subjects and therefore also what
that was humanity itself
we could also think that we are already
on the way to go towards new ones
forms of existence that have to do
with hybridization with the machine or with
ways of living totally from
embodied as for example the mind
uploading or the mind in the cloud or by
example being in experiences
expanded within virtual worlds what
which of course poses scenarios
completely different from what
we had thought until now and I the
question that I want to raise here is that
we have a medium – term scenarios
in the long term, possible scenarios
but the question is what relevance
have to keep thinking in the key of what
masculine and the feminine in this
context in this context of bodies that
every time they go more towards the cyborg or in a
context where we have our mind in
the cloud or where we are living in a
virtual world through an avatar
additionally we will also see the
convergence of different types of
academic disciplines leading to
new fields of knowledge as per
example biotechnology to put here
a concrete example has already been achieved
validate the use of a uterus
artificial with non-human animals and it
hope that throughout the next
decades these uteruses can be used
artificial also in the case of babies
premature to be able to give them viability
no doubt a door opens towards
extracorporeal gestation or to the
Genesis lecto you imagine the the
revolution that involves thinking that
can create a life outside the body
human you imagine what it would mean
that anyone independently
of how when or with whom
breed
you also imagine what it would mean
for women the fact that
it has definitely been decided and
if we want it we can take off
of biological reproduction or that the
reproduction takes off from our
bodies
undoubtedly this raises us
numerous questions and reflections from
ethical order and without a doubt at least
from my point of view
precisely on the roof of beings
humans putting technology in favor or
against humanity
and now let’s imagine a world where a
person does not have to identify with
a certain gender at birth but that
can design your life experience of
much more so richly
liquid in a more flexible way this we
would open the door to new ways of
live already a human flowering
probably unprecedented given that
we could detach ourselves from our
evidence
embodied and therefore of the constructs
social and cultural issues that have been
about those bodies
so far human evolution and the
civilization had involved a
domestication of nature but
against nature I think now
same we are in a moment where
we could begin to reflect on
other completely different things and
become aware that we are not another
thing that conscious matter is worth
redundancy in the universe is to say that
all this biological framework and
Technology is simply the universe
knowing yourself in a
permanent evolution and if we know
use all these technologies
could we be used to create
a different world and also for
commit some of the biggest challenges of
humanity how to revoke the change
climatic how to produce food
Enough and healthy to prolong
our lives like ending the great
most diseases in sum the
achievement of a new world in which there
justice and radical abundance
where there is a single diffuse human gender
a single diverse human race where the
people have their maximum concern
in promoting the ethics of care and in
eliminate the suffering of any
sentient beings
and that’s what we want but to be able
achieve it women need to embrace
technology women we need
raise our voice women
We need to contribute to the creation of
this world differently and because what
we need to have a greater
presence and greater visibility in the
scientific and technological fields where
decisions are made from the
boards of directors of the
companies until the programming of the
artificial intelligences because if not
we do it, we run the risk of returning
to be illiterate in the 21st century and
we run the risk of living again the
exclusion the exclusion of femininity or
of whatever the evolution of
femininity under a new formula that
now we could call the techno
patriarchy
On the other hand I think we are living
a wonderful moment to wake up in
the global level we have gone to the street
we are starting to talk about a lot
of things that put a broth of
Perfect cultivation to raise new
possible worlds new possible futures
where people do not have to be
predetermined where people and
options people have we not
have to be conditioned in the
at birth and that’s what
we want
the future is written in code and the
women today we have a lot to say
about how we want to build the
tomorrow thank you
