technology
Technology has a midas touch.
Wolfgang Sievers, Hamersley Iron in the Pilbara near Mt. Tom Price, W.A., 1975.
Everything which technology as a mode of being comes in contact with becomes uniformily subsumed into a system of efficiently exploited resources. This world of technology that refashions our habitat does not provide us with a home.
It makes us homeless. How can we dwell in a quarry where resources are extracted and refuse dumped? A quarry is no place for us to dwell. We just reside there whilst we rip the guts out of the country.
So how do we find a place that can be our home?
