My try to parse it:
If language made us human, proofreading tech makes us post-human.
- microcolonel 9y agoThe disconnect here, which explains the style of the article and the nature of the advice, is the assumption that human technology could lend a post-human quality. I'd say that the human technology is more human than any individual human, because it is closer to the humanist ideal than to any individual.
