I’ll give you a break and chalk the above philosophically simplistic
response to the fact that you’re a relatively recent addition to this list,
and therefore missed much of our discussion a few years ago about whether
the factical domination of technology cannot but manifest an ontological
sway - i.e., that even though the essence of technology is not technological
things, a preponderance of the latter is nevertheless ontologically
significant.
That takes more nuance.
