On Technology

Technology is evil and unjustified. In these times, however, an evil is sometimes obligatory. The evil may be used for life or death, the preservation of essence or the continuity of loss. The perpetual choice is that of humanity’s. For a flourishing technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.

Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons. War, conflict, death; they are all technology, cultured yet unpretentiously primitive. From the days of the iron sword, the vindictive dagger of death, no structure of development has occurred. No evolution of the human mind but that of bereavement. I feel I could talk to the sword of old, and it talk to me. You see this situation, time and circumstance as god given; like land, or Excalibur. Light shines off of metal; light shines off of intent. Within yourself you know what you want; what you need within yourself is all of the power, confidence, and glory a person could hope for. The power of the sword is from hunger, the exotic love of death.
