Dialektik.
Master: We have so established that science is good for
understanding how technology works, but nothing else. Beyond the technological “advantages”
of the scientific “method” there is little if any thing that Science can do for
us.
Now we understand why computers inspire in us such
logocentrism. Western thought allows us to Use them. But not to UNDERSTAND
them.
Student: But wait. Did you not say that science could help
us to UNDERSTAND technology?
Master: Yes. (irritably.)
Student: So why can it not help us to UNDERSTAND computers?
Master: You IMBECILE! You utter MORON! Is it not OBVIOUS?
Science and logocentric thought can only help us to understand computers AS
technology! Not beyond that point!
Student: oh. (with bitterness: He must be crazy.)
