Earth: The Final Trash Can

Fall 2020
In what follows we shall be questioning concerning technology. Questioning builds a way. We would be advised, therefore, above all to pay heed to the way, and not to fix our attention on isolated sentences and topics. The way is a way of thinking. All ways of thinking, more or less perceptibly, lead through language in a manner that is extraordinary. We shall be questioning concerning technology, and in so doing, we should like to prepare a free relationship to it. The relationship will be free if it opens our human existence to the essence of technology. When we can respond to the essence, we shall be able to experience the technology within its own bounds.
--Martin Heidegger "The Question Concerning Technology" "Die Technik und die Kehre" (Pfullingen: Gunter Neske, 1962)
