Today I used the hashtag technoscience in two tweets, and I hope there will be more… I seem to be the first…! I have a hard time understanding why critcal discourse have so difficult to break into the fun-and-play prison of Twitter. Twitter seems like a great tool too build complex webs of thougt through myriads of small ideas.
It would be fun (and useful) if someone joined the twitter hash based “group” #technoscience
Yesterday, I renamed the category “research” to technoscience. Just now I wrote the opening paragraph for an essay about technoscience in the location of web 2.0. It hit me that this short text also works as an explanation for why I renamed the category research to technoscience. Quoting myself:

Yesterday, I renamed the category “research” to technoscience. Just now I wrote the opening paragraph for an essay about technoscience in the location of web 2.0. It hit me that this short text also works as an explanation for why I renamed the category research to technoscience. Quoting myself:
Technoscience means a sense that science and technology cannot be separated. That understanding should be quite common among persons having a stake in the concept. I am more uncertain about the location of the concept. I have placed it in various locations in relationship to related words as science and reserach. Recently, the ontology of technoscience has becoming more and more clear to me. I think persons with a stake in the concept should go all the way and kick out ’science’ from the academic throne – ie from our viewpoint. Technoscience is not a relational concept balancing between words as science and research. Some of the things I do is science, but science is only a part of my academic work. I am doing techosciene in the same sense a quantum physician is doing science. Technosicence is not a relative of science, it is a reconstruction of science.
Vivaldi is one of my favorite classical composers and Yo-Yo Ma is one of the best interpreters of his music.

Vivaldi's Cello - Yo-Yo Ma
Vivaldi is one of my favorite classical composers and Yo-Yo Ma is one of the best interpreters of his music. Vivaldi created music in a time before the pretensiousness of Bach and many after that – well, I sort of love that kind of music too. Vivaldi’s music is very earthly. I can imagine myself standing i front of a new land, wide open for my interpretations and actions. Not asking some power beyond what to do with this new land, but rather let the soil gleam through my spreaded fingers, rolling up my sleavs and get to the task of building something with my own hands and mind in a harmonious relation. Yes, you are right, I don’t view baroque music as social, but that is a personal anachronism. A non-social aspect of music hardly existed before very late in the technoscientific revolution, ie. the invention of the gramophone (phonograph).

There is no way out of the determining factors of tradition. We have to be aware of them, but it is as important to understand that there is no way of freeing ourselves completely from tradition. There is a large body of work written on the question of free will vs determinism, my own view being fairly commonsensical. The existentialist view of free will is somewhat naive and a completely determined world is not only disgusting, but irrational according to a secular view of life. The commonsensical view is that every child is thrown into a tradition, but have a certain degree of free will within that tradition. This article is about the relation between science, philosophy and technoscience.
This draft is less than 4 pages and will be a part of my dissertation. You can see it in the upcoming structure on the research page. This is the first piece in the structure.
