"The point is to make a difference in the world, to cast our lot for some ways of life and not others", (Haraway 1997: 36)

"The point is to make a difference in the world, to cast our lot for some ways of life and not others. To do that, one must be in the action, be finite and dirty, not transcendent and clean"

From Modest_Witness@Second_Millenium. FemaleMan©_Meets_OncoMouse™: Feminism and Technoscience, 1997

    But wouldn't the world do just fine without us, irrespective of whether what we offer to it is our best or our worst?
