    […] Above all, I wish to emphasise that technologism is not technological in its nature. Technologism has nothing to do with technology, but is rather a misconception of an intellectual and moral nature. It is not the technological way of thinking per se that leads us astray; it is the belief that technological values, capabilities and functions are the only things that matter.
