Engineering complexity in the environment is like wet bulb temperature for philosophy. Beyond a point the mind can longer console itself with philosophy because the complexity of the environment exceeds the complexity of philosophical schemes you can hold in your head. So philosophy retreats to the air conditioned solace of atypically simple technologies treated as typical.

Gilbert Simondon does a pretty good job handling the complexity imho. But yeah most just talk about tables
