summary
Describes concrete experiments: Toaster Project attempts to make an electric toaster from scratch (mining, smelting and the resulting book and wide media attention), Goatman documents an extended embodied experiment to “take a holiday from being human” (a published project that won an Ig Nobel), and a current engineering-and-ethics effort called Harmless Car that aims to build a car designed to minimize harm and to surface feelings of guilt while testing whether “harmless” is practically achievable.
