A strange find on NSwiki: http://nswiki.net/index.php?title=Posthuman_Philosophy
The basis of Posthuman Philosophy is that Posthumans are the next stage of Human Evolution and because of this, all humans (or derogatory name is "Unevolved") must one day be Upgraded or be destroyed. Because the Posthuman is the next stage of human evolution a whole new way of thinking and seeing reality had to be developed in order to keep up with the evolution of the Posthuman.
Principles of Posthuman Philosophy (as promoted by the government)
1. All must Be Upgraded
2. Religion is the Flawed Expression of the Unevolveds and must be rejected by a true Posthuman
3. One must seek to create Order from Chaos
4. All must Seek to bring no Harm to others unless necessary
5. Society is built upon a structure that must be upheld and changed only at great need
6. The only absolutes are the ones that come from Posthuman Perfection
Random notes
-Upgrading?????
-Safety
-Strutured society, lack of true freedom??
Personal Focus: The fluidity of identity when it comes to cyberspace, virtual lives
- Waking up/ logging in. Instant appearance of the main character (she blinks in), flipping through different usernames/personas/avatars (can have a different face like the Laughing Man)
-Waving off religious symbols, spam filter
-Passing by people in the street. Status as "Anon" makes other people see each other as blank faces, blink through the views of other people, reveal who they are
-Pop-up, new eye downloads, flicking through the different eyes like at the beginning of a game where people sift through the different faces and body types they can have for their avatars. Choosing something results in a download bar and a transformation
-Things like gender and race can easily be modified
-I wonder how people would communicate? Maybe something like a public chatroom/bar
-End: she runs into someone with exactly the same avatar or everyone goes anonymous and she's lost in the crowd
