The Question Concerning Technology

About this episode

The episode explores how technology shapes our souls through a philosophical lens, particularly referencing Heidegger's work.

The Question Concerning Technology (ep #067) This is not a "number go up" conversation. It's about how technology shapes your soul. @Erikcason gets it. And he kindly offers you the same path he took. In prepping for our conversation on Cason's "Cryptosovereignty", we found he'd left a homework assignment: read Martin Heidegger's "The Question Concerning Technology" for context. Dutifully, we obliged. And what came of it? Heidegger's contribution is impactful. He offers…perspective…on our perspective. Grant squares it: • Enframing 🧠 • Tech as revealing (not neutral) • Ancient techne vs modern extraction • Whether Bitcoin breaks the spell or deepens it Lucas knods and rubs his chin. Deep thoughts…deep thoughts. share with friends, and consider us yours. we're all in this together!
