Posthuman Norms
#1
What behavioral incentives (or social norms, if they are social) will post-human species have? 
In some works of science fiction, the distant descendants of humans becoming post-sapient animals, notably Kurt Vonnegut's Galapagos that are entirely instinctual because human-style brains are a large energetic investment. Notably Watt's Blindsight argues that consciousness is unnecessary for intelligence and that humans may be evolving towards being p-zombies. Outside of these cases, posthumans are seen as having a wide variety of behavioral norms due to the pressures of a different environment (in space, uploaded etc.) and different societies to begin with.
