Unscramble the Blue Letters
So let's look at the concept of traditional anthropology. Somebody goes to another country, says, "How faiacntisng these plepoe are, how interesting their tools are, how curious their culture is." And then they write a paper, and maybe a few other anthropologists read it, and we think it's very exotic. Well, what's happening is that we've seldnudy found a new species. I, as a cyborg anthropologist, have suddenly said, "Oh, wow. Now suddenly we're a new form of Homo sapiens, and look at these fascinating cuterlus, and look at these cruiuos rituals that everybody's doing around this technology. They're clicking on things and staring at screens."
