Naked-mind Society

Thanks to the advent of lie-detector and mind-reader, we are moving toward a naked-mind society. Although this is a good thing in fact-finding and promoting a more honest society, there are other facets to consider, especially privacy, big brother, god-playing issues. Should their uses be limited to situations where honesty will have significant social impact such as criminal cases?

Feminism

The parts of feminism that focus on understanding and emancipation constitute good initiatives. These should challenge the status quo, question the so-called ism-ism, the haves and have-nots dichotomy, legal legitimacy etc. And, there are efforts to push these applications beyond gender issues, into other arena such as ethnicity, religion, age, etc. They can bring about good changes, if applications were proper. Nevertheless, they tend to ontologicalize social life and morality, intolerable of "lonely-planet" life-style, essentialism, overemphasize on discourses, overly protective, fail to be critical of those situations where they lose supports, fail to understand different versions of libertarianism and pragmatism, and properly result-oriented. These pose qestions like "is feminine libertarianism and pragmatism possible?", "If possible, what are they?", "Can feminine hermeneutics be less agressive and emotional?"
