🐰 Down The Rabbit Hole 🕳️

“The first great fact which emerges from our civilization is that today everything has become ‘means.’ There is no longer an ‘end’; we do not know whither we are going. We have forgotten our collective ends, and we possess great means: we set huge machines in motion in order to arrive nowhere.”

~ Jacques Ellul

Greetings, dear newsletter subscriber,

When was the last time you stopped to ask: What do I really value?

In this week’s video, I explore the clash between human values and machine ("technocratic") values. While human values prioritize meaning, connection, and intrinsic worth, machine values emphasize efficiency, function, and scalability. The problem? In a tech-saturated world, those machine-like values can quietly replace the ones that make us most human.

This episode provides deeper insight to help you spot the shift and strategies to reclaim your humanity in the face of technology’s pressure.

Do you think technology has shifted your values without you realizing it?

Have a great weekend, and we'll see you again next week!

Warmly,

Herman
