Zingeving in technologie een fobie?: reflecties bij de techniekfilosofie van P.P. VerbeekTechnologie staat centraal in ons huidige leven. We maken selfies, versturen tweets en ontvangen e pakjes thuis. We dromen er van om met hulp van de technologie een muzikaal begaafd kind te krijgen of minstens 100 jaar oud worden. Waarom? Welke zingeving verschuilt zich in deze manie? Of getuigt het stellen van deze vraag van een fobie voor technologie? Aristoteles stelde al dat we via de techniek de natuur kunnen overtreffen.

Technologie staat centraal in ons huidige leven. We maken selfies, versturen tweets en ontvangen e-pakjes thuis. We dromen er van om met hulp van de technologie een muzikaal begaafd kind te krijgen of minstens 100 jaar oud worden. Waarom? Welke zingeving verschuilt zich in deze manie? Of getuigt het stellen van deze vraag van een fobie voor technologie? Aristoteles stelde al dat we via de techniek de natuur kunnen overtreffen. Hij waarschuwde echter voor het gevaar geen maat te houden. De technologie plaatst ons voor een grote verantwoordelijkheid. Vandaag staan we voor de vraag hoe om te gaan met technologische uitdagingen zoals digitalisering, robotisering en genetische manipulatie. Stilstaan bij het crashen van zelfrijdende auto's, bij onze afhankelijkheid van internet en bij het computergestuurd verbeteren van onze hersenen blijkt urgenter dan ooit. We lijken echter steeds meer te vervreemden van de humanistische waarden waarop de klassieke techniekfilosofie een beroep deed om alles in goede banen te leiden. We stappen het transhumanistisch tijdperk binnen dat zelfs de eigenheid van de mens technologisch omschrijft. Kunnen we door onze fobie voor transcendentie bij al deze technologische vragen te doorprikken, opnieuw verantwoordelijkheid tot leven brengen? Of is het hiervoor te laat?

Soft and comfortable, NOT firm.
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Overall, these are comfortable pillows for the price, especially if you prefer something soft rather than firm. The pillows arrived vacuum sealed, which is pretty standard. Once opened, they fluffed up well after some time and looked full enough to use. Right away, they felt soft and plush, and sleeping on them was comfortable from the first night. In terms of comfort and support, these pillows are definitely on the softer side. They work well for side and back sleeping if you like a pillow that you can sink into a bit. They’re not firm or dense, but they’re still cozy and gentle on the neck and head. After a few days of use, I did notice that the pillows started to look a little lumpy and uneven. The filling tends to shift, so they don’t hold their shape perfectly and need regular fluffing. That said, even when they look a bit misshapen, they’re still soft and comfortable to sleep on. If you’re someone who needs strong neck support or prefers a firm hotel-style pillow, these may feel too soft. However, if comfort and plushness are your priority, they do the job well. For the price, I think they’re a good value. They’re not luxury pillows, but they’re comfortable, decent quality, and perfectly fine for everyday use or a guest bed.

Would buy again
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
This is a good pillow if you like them firm and thin. I let them sit out for 2 days (per instructions). After having them a week, they've perked up and became more full. I guess they just need time after being in the air. They are softer now but your head doesn't sink thru it. They are actually nice and soft to the touch as well.

On the thin side....
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These are described as "high loft" and "supportive", but they are fairly thin/flat and very soft.

Great Support; not too Soft.
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
These are extremely comfortable pillows. I bought them for my every-night use, and they have not disappointed me. They provide great support for one’s head. They mold around one’s neck foot just turn perfect amount of support without being extremely soft. They hold their original manufactured shape easily.
