    I have a number of comments in the form of links.

    1. another article about the uncanny valley and what happens when we go beyond human,or augmented humans. (more Chuman than human?) very interesting comments, as well.

    2. a link to an article about the mirroring neurons, as mentioned in the previous link:

    3. a link to an article mentioned in the comments section of the first link, concerning the concept of dehumanization as a way of mentally compartmentalizing terrorists, female suicide bombers, and other “alien” humans:

    That’s a pretty awesome wall of links. I’ll read those shortly.

    This, right here, is what Shock:Human Contact is about.
