Reply to comment by bogmire in The philosophy of Martin Heidegger who argued that the Technological mindset has destroyed our relationship to the world so that Nature is seen as so many resources to exploit. He presents an alternative: a poetic relationship to the world by thelivingphilosophy

Just as a side story, I once saw someone say that Uber was terrible and exploitative and wouldn't exist under socialism. So I asked if any form of taxis would exist under socialism. They said: of course not! I asked why that would be, and they said: well because there would be no cars of course!

So anyways, according to that guy, I'm guessing there wouldn't be any airplanes under socialism as well, lol
