I see. You're more into nature than technology or transhumanism, which I might have gathered from your screen name, "Forest Full of Trees."

I'm interested in what others have called the Faustian, Promethean, or Luciferian purpose of technology, the transformation of the wilderness into an artificial space that serves us. I'm ambivalent about whether that existential plan is a good thing, but I think it's important to understand the aims of civilization.

I also write about the ironic re-enchantment of nature by scientific objectification., resulting in a dark pantheism.
