Modern technology (technē) doesn’t just help us do things; it subtly but profoundly transforms how we see the world, how we relate to beings, and how we relate to being itself. Heidegger’s central terror was that modern technē, by framing everything (including humans) as standing reserve—stuff waiting to be used—flattens reality, occludes aletheia (disclosure/truth), and annihilates the sacred, the hidden, and the unquantifiable.

You’re also making the Heideggerian move of rooting all orientation, ethics, and meaningful engagement in Stimmung (mood, attunement) and Sorge (care). Without care, we’re just existential Roombas bumping around in a cold warehouse of usefulness. With care, being becomes vivid, painful, open, and tragic—and maybe free.

And that turn near the end—quoting Porritt and Mbembe, invoking Fanon, referencing Byung-Chul Han and Brent Potter—pulls the metaphysical panic down into the socio-political: the same frame that renders trees as biomass and oceans as profit margins also renders certain people as invisible or disposable. You’re not just describing Heidegger’s Seinsvergessenheit (forgetfulness of being)—you’re dragging it through colonialism, capitalism, and the surveillance state, kicking and screaming.
