 Why do you guys care about groups and about cyborgs?  How is this going to help you? What it’s going to do for you is, when you understand the way that people hide and are visible within groups, it’ll help you to hide and be visible within groups. Including groups you want to advocate for, if you’re advocating for a certain policy or you have a technology you want to get adopted. Knowing this is going to help you communicate better and understand how groups behave so that you are successful in doing that. And that’s kind of why I’m talking about this.
-When I talk about a hidden cyborg, I’m actually talking about both hidden and stealth and they’re sort of different. Hidden is, you just can’t see it. The hardware in Amber’s ankle is completely hidden—do you see it?  No. Here she is walking, you don’t see it, right? Completely hidden. Pacemakers are hidden. But an RFID tag can be both hidden and stealth. It’s hidden, but you can also use it for stealth purposes. Cheney technically kind of belongs over there hidden because he has a pacemaker. But he’s so stealthy, I just put him over here, anyway. And the $6 Million Man and the Bionic Woman, very stealth, right? You couldn’t see any augmentation on them and yet they were able to do all these things because of it.

 In hiding and stealth, it’s important to pay attention to—well, I’ll give you that [slide] again—why you would hide or be stealth, because it helps you integrate into different groups. And the things that differentiate us between groups is how we mark. And there’s a cyborg now.

 When I talk about cyborgs and marking, [we start] getting to acceptability. When I look at cyborgs, I think about the different kinds of cyborgs. I divided them into four categories. There’s voluntary and involuntary and hidden-invisible.
-Hidden and involuntary is like Amber’s ankle. She didn’t mean to fall, it wasn’t her fault and she has to have this technology that’s hidden within her. But what’s voluntary and hidden is she’s swallowing a QR code. So she’s just taking it in because she just wants to swallow that technology and digest it. This is not coming out as bright as I’d like, but this is voluntary-invisible. And in this one, this is Amber texting. So she’s willingly connecting to a network, she was walking through an airport when this photo was taken. So it’s a voluntary visible connection as a cyborg.
+Hidden and involuntary is like the hurt ankle. She didn’t mean to fall, it wasn’t her fault and she has to have this technology that’s hidden within her.

 There she is in her wheelchair after she hurt her ankle. She’s very visibly a cyborg connected to a machine and it’s involuntary. Again, it wasn’t her fault. She didn’t mean to fall and hurt herself, but there she is standing out, marked in a group because she’s in a wheelchair.

 Now, the interesting thing about this category for being unmarked is it’s accepted and unmarked because it doesn’t create any difference at all, until—it’s stealth, this is stealth over here—until you tell somebody, or they find out. And then, when they find out that you’ve willingly augmented yourself, when you didn’t need to, when it wasn’t involuntary, then you’re down here, in a voluntary-visible category, which has very different acceptance right now.
-The third category is a marked category. Again, this is like Amber in the wheelchair. This is Oscar. I put in a cat for Max. And it has, he has his bionic legs. And he’s marked because we can see his augmentation. But we also can’t assign any blame to him—not his fault what happened to him. Again, it’s visible, but we’re willing to make a concession to him as an injured party being part of our unmarked culture, because it wasn’t his fault.

 The fourth category in terms of voluntary-visible are when people just voluntarily do stuff to augment that’s really, really visible. And that’s a harder thing right now, because the society isn’t at the moment conditioned to really understand and accept these differences, because of the way that we’re unmarked as a culture or the groups that we are. And this is the one that’s probably the least accepted at the moment, although in the future, this may be the most accepted and these things may all change places.
