Document Summary
Lecture (cid:498)modern technology nullifies what it regards as nothing of no account(cid:499) leach. With leach, development and modern technology, and current orientation of technology, nullifies what matters most without our noticing. Anything regarded as worthless goes unsupported and undeveloped; we lose sight of what is meaningful. Forget about human tenderness, as it is now represented by means of technology. Look for what is missing in a world that tells us nothing is never missing; because world appears to function perfectly (cid:498)nihlism was an activity that lies hidden in its work. Nihism is negation, insofar as nihism is what happens when we collectively ignore everything we mistakenly deem to be valueless, because all that we perceive to be without value goes unsupported and undeveloped. Dirk leach describes nihilism as the lived experience of gestell, since nihilism does not erase or omit everything in the world, but only that which technical thinking (cid:498)regards as nothing, of no account(cid:499)
