Technology as mastery. The suggestion of, "The daring young men and their flying machines". Early science was portrayed as a manly act, one of mastery over nature. The view was promoted by the Royal Society. Heidegger's cautions on the glorification of technology are almost a counterpoint to this power narrative. Does the artisan become something less than their tools as they become more advanced? What do we lose from ourselves when we become more invested in them? Maybe we lose some of ourselves and lose our connection to our sense of self and the world we use them in. Claiming mastery our sense of wonder dies. 25 years ago or more I wrote a paper on Heidegger and Kierkegaard. My prof didn't like it and said it read more like a sermon than a paper. I thought that was the point.
