Beware the Dichotomy of Value

Societal structures that categorize entities as either human or non-human, attributing different metaphysical worth to each, create a dynamic of self versus other. This perspective can lead to the dehumanization of marginalized groups, reducing them to resources much like natural objects. Additionally, the evolution of science and technology cannot be viewed separately from cultural context; advanced technologies carry inherent moral implications and deeply affect social systems and the environment. Understanding technology requires a holistic approach that considers its broader impacts on life and society rather than analyzing it in isolation.
