The worst thing is that technology
is so fascinating. We sit back and
enjoy its comforts often not asking
about the negative. According to EJ
technology is of western origin and
its development is explosive (to
the border of catastrophy for
mankind). Steam, electricity,
radiation, time between inventions
is getting shorter, "doch maechtiger
im geometrischen Progress." That is,
so EJ, not "progress" any more.
