KuKKuut-kollektiivin syyskausi alkaa kuoleman kahvilalla 🍂🍄‍🟫

🍁 Teemana on luonto ja kuolema.

Kaikki tervetulleita!

Preparing for Friday’s Death Cafe (welcome if you’re in Helsinki!) on technology and AI around and after death, and this pod is super interesting! We have no established practice for the rights of the dead, but questions of consent e.g. building digital avatars of those we’ve lost are no doubt next

Our inferiority complex will get seriously twisted now. This is basically 🇸🇪 lamenting that somehow the backwater Moomins 🇫🇮 became the genius next door - no one saw it coming, but here we are
