just listened to ths.. perhaps should also take a look at concepts around social cyborgs.. Society is a creation of man and humans as we exist in a social environment which guides our growth and development, mindset etc… is a combination of the bilogical and the created (society).. morphed into a clear social cyborg..
TW Luke has written on this a great deal and has some very accessiable materials.

Comment on Episode 44 – Not Roleplaying in RPGs, and Just What the Hell is Roleplaying, Anyway? by CrazyDreamer

Re: “roles” in 4e and elsewhere:

I think that it may be useful to refer to the types of roles as persona and functions. That is, divide “roleplaying” into personaplaying (doing things according to the character’s personality) versus functionplaying (doing things according to the character’s mechanical job). This doesn’t explicitly cover things like playing a character based on their narrative role or what have you, but a similar formula of “doing things according to the character’s X” (trope, whatever) can be used to extend the system to other approaches. In many cases we may want a game to be designed for players who prefer one of those approaches to concentrate on that approach and have the rules force the others as consequences.
