a passage from ethics of ambiguity that i often think about - on the goal of technology as compared to other disciplines and why "efficiency" doesn't feel like the right goal
passage from ethics of ambiguity that says: The attempt is sometimes made to find an objective justification of science in technics; but ordinarily the mathematician is concerned with mathematics and the physicist with physics, and not with their applications. And, furthermore, technics itself is not objectively justified; if it sets up as absolute goals the saving of time and work which it enables us to realize and the comfort and luxury which it enables us to have access to, then it appears useless and absurd, for the time that one gains can not be accumulated in a store.
