“the danger of modernity consists in the rise of technology, this technology is essentially different from the techne of ancient times.” “Technological development, accompanied by its rationality and driven by the desire for mastery, forms a gigantic force that is in the process of depriving the world of any other possibility and turning it into a giant standing reserve, as adikia or Unfug (un-fittingness).” “Technology is the destiny of Western Metaphysics” - Yuk Hui, The Question Concerning Technology In China: an essay on Cosmotecnics

“My hypothesis… Not only was geometry not developed in China; in addition, the question of time was not addressed in the same way as in the West; and it is these two considerations together that gave rise to a different concept of technics in China” Yuk Hui, The Question Concerning Technology In China, an essay on cosmotecnics

“collective memory is also wholly modern—a compensation for what is destroyed, since only when threatened by destruction does it become a memory rather than a mere object of everyday life of interest only to historians.” - Yuk Hui, The Question Concerning Technology In China: an essay on Cosmotecnics

there’s a story about yvon chouinard where at some point he’s product testing his Patagonia gear somewhere flying fishing in Montana or somewhere and one of his employees calls him and tells him there’s a fire in the warehouse, and asks what should we do??? he responds with something along the lines : “I’m fly fishing right now so you’re gonna have to figure it out”

Something I’ve noticed about this too is that there are a bunch of things that are not in my sweet spot of agency and interest, and I’ve noticed that it requires me extra energy to do those things. I’ve also noticed that if I force myself to do these things repeatedly and forcefully without being nice to myself and not take care of myself — I burn out (in the short term or long terms) and so what I’ve noticed is that I have to figure out a way to regulate myself and my state and also manage the deadlines and timelines in a way that is sustainable for me. In the past, I used to think that I had to push through (self be damned) but I’ve burned out enough times to know that that just doesn’t work for me, congratulations if it works for you and by you I mean you all
