Why German Language Is Superior to English (But Not to Anglo-Saxon)

In 1976, German magazine Der Spiegel asked Martin Heidegger whether he believed the Germans possessed a specific qualification for bringing about a reversal of modern technology, or as we say, a revolt against the modern world.

Heidegger feared that technology might, one day, become humanity’s master. Since by the early twentieth century, Germany had become the most technologically advanced nation, Germans should now also be made responsible for putting an end to the technological optimism. Heidegger thought it was a naïve frame to continue professing the idea technology will solve all of our problems someday.

It won’t. To prevent the destruction of the world, as though the whole planet were a giant gas station, we must reverse the technological trend.
