  1. Technics and Civilization est un essai de Lewis Mumford, paru en 1934 aux États-Unis. Mon édition française de 1950 est devenue irrespirable tellement elle est moisie. Par chance, il y a eu une réédition en 2016 : editionsparentheses.com/Techni

  2. The future of our civilization depends upon our ability to select and control our heritage from the past, to alter our present attitudes and habits, and to project fresh forms into which our energies may be freely poured.

  28. > "... agriculture brings cumulative improvements to the landscape and a finer adaptation of it to human needs; while mines as a rule pass quickly from riches to exhaustion, from exhaustion to desertion, often within a few generations. Mining thus presents the very image of human discontinuity, here today and gone tomorrow, now feverish with gain, now depleted and vacant.”
    #LewisMumford #CityInHistory on #Mining and #TheMiner quoted by #BradWilson #IowaCornFarmer

  29. > The other great benefit of the transformation of the industrial process is the fact that its outcome need not be a plethora of material goods and gadgets, nor yet of instruments of warfare and genocide. Once we revamp the institutions of the market, and distribute goods mainly on the basis of need, rather than in proportion to toil or sacrifice or privileged status, our gains will be gains in leisure.

  30. Reading "The City in History" by #lewismumford and loved the way he describes the suburban way of life:

    ”Here domesticity could flourish, forgetful of the exploitation on which so much of it was based. Here individuality could prosper, oblivious of the pervasive regimentation beyond. this was not merely a child-centered environment: it was based on a childish view of the world, in which reality was sacrificed to the pleasure principle.” pg. 494

  35. Limits:
    > Plato defined the limits of the size of a city as the number of people who could hear the voice of a single orator: today those limits do not define a city but a civilization..
    Media:
    > As with all instruments of multiplication the.. question is as to the function and quality of the object.. multiplying. There is no satisfactory answer to this..[from] #technics .. nothing to indicate.. [that] #InstantaneousCommunication.. will.. be favorable to the community.
    #LewisMumford in 1934

  36. Lewis Mumford's _Technics and Civilization_ on the camera's influence brought this to mind:
    > If #Instagram showed us what a world without art looks like, #TikTok shows us what a world without shame looks like. The old virtues of restraint — prudence, discretion, tact — are gone. There is only one virtue: to be seen.

  37. The English Through Pictures Book 3 page 47 makes me think of a line from Lewis Mumford:
    > Mechanical instruments, potentially a vehicle of rational human purposes, are scarcely a blessing when they enable the gossip of the village idiot and the deeds of the thug to be broadcast to a million people each day.

  38. Machines

    If you fall in love with a machine there is something wrong with your love-life. If you worship a machine there is something wrong with your religion.

  39. > The End of the Megamachine brings to light the roots of the destructive forces threatening the future of humankind today. While the first part leads us to the very origins of economic, military and ideological power 5000 years ago, the second and key part retraces the formation and expansion of the modern world-system through the last 500 years.
