@Jackstilgoe I know you know this already, but this paper has really stood the test of time: https://t.co/Wv5IEq5sMD
@ArhoSuominen I don't think there's much written yet. Most of the stuff I know is from conversations with colleagues. Nordmann's essay on speculative nanoethics contains one line of critique: https://t.co/KPIp1OY1p4
I've tried to be aware of the risks of doing this. If we start with hype we risk reifying the tech and reinforcing rather than challenging tech determinism. I've been guided by Nordmann's critique of speculative ethics https://t.co/ZCxfYRexC1
@STS_News Lots to agree with here. This paper by Alfred Nordmann made a big impression on me when I was immersed in the nanotechnology discussions https://t.co/Wv5IEq5sMD
@LenFisherScienc @WilliamAEden @TK4692 (Nordmann's critique of "if-then ethics" comes to mind, but there is a lot of baby in the discarded bathwater. Indeed, it reads a lot like anti-AI safety claims. Annoying...) https://t.co/LFpQbzMaHu

While I think I have more time for anticipatory governance than @STS_News, this thread is great & important. Nordmann's speculative ethics comes to mind (https://t.co/SvCCVnF2Xc). (I've written about how this is a HUGE problem in geoengineering, eg: h
@JesseLReynolds @DrRobBellamy @OlafCorry And Nordmann’s critique of speculative ethics is also useful https://t.co/SvCCVnF2Xc
@npseaver Nordmann: "If and Then: A Critique of Speculative NanoEthics" which discusses when "if x, then y" arguments skip over the antecedent, and turn into "when x, then y" arguments https://t.co/w2f6dxVngg
@geoengineering1 Well, that’s not exactly what I mean. Lots of room for social agency in steering tech development - a more nuanced critique of speculative ethics by Nordmann https://t.co/SvCCVnF2Xc
@DKeithClimate @JesseLReynolds @peteirvine @Knutti_ETH @FelixSchenuit @naturesustainab For those interested, I like Nordmann's critique of "speculative ethics"(discourse that constructs & validates an incredible future which it only then proceeds to en

@samim For this, consider seeing what has been written on "speculative ethics". A piece I've enjoyed was Nordmann's "If and Then: A Critique of Speculative NanoEthics" (2007, https://t.co/w2f6dxVngg). It's on different domain, namely bio-/nanoethics, but t
@profmikefortun @npseaver Still reading this (fell asleep the first time 😪). Fascinating, this idea of #ethicsofpromising, I have not read on it before. That, and the theme reminds me of Nordmann's "If and Then: A Critique of Speculative NanoEthics" https:
