Lesson 21

The document discusses the relationship between technology, nature, and humanity. It makes three key points: 1) Technology can be seen as a way of revealing nature's essence, but humans also view nature as a resource to exploit. 2) Humans have become instruments for exploiting nature through activities like farming, mining, and deforestation. 3) While technology poses dangers in consuming humanity, art may act as a saving power by encouraging appreciation of nature's inherent value beyond mere utility.
