Ellul argued that the true danger isn't machines taking over, but the rise of "Technique" - the relentless pursuit of optimal efficiency in every human endeavor. Discover how this principle, applied universally from industry to psychology, subtly shapes our behavior, values, and even our thoughts. Jacques Ellul explains how this drive for efficiency becomes autonomous, unified, and self-augmenting, creating a system that demands human adaptation, leading to a new, insidious form of enslavement. We explore how Ellul's concepts of Technique and the technological society reveal the hidden pressures of modern life, from algorithmic feeds to performance metrics, demonstrating how we become optimized components within the very systems we build. Understanding Jacques Ellul provides crucial insights into navigating the modern world and resisting the passive conformity demanded by efficiency. Learn why Jacques Ellul's warnings in The Technological Society are more relevant than ever in our digital age. See how Ellul challenges us to critically examine the dominance of technology.
