"At times, technology is justified on the basis of seemingly rational arguments…..The foundational argument for technology is that it makes life easier : easier and easier, invention after invention. In reality, man has been dominating the globe without rivals ever since the discovery of the stone axe, and our life has been unnaturally and hopelessly comfortable. Since then, our only real problems have been our physical ease, meaninglessness, rootlessness and frustration."
Todays is taken from Can Life Prevail? : A Radical Approach to the Environmental Crisis. The 2009 book of Pentti Linkola, a radical Finnish deep ecologist, polemicist, and fisherman.
