Mega-machine, Life and God

The denial of God has lead man to seek marvel at oneself and at the creation by man by his own hands The building of structures of Marvel starting with the Pyramids of Egypt to the mega-machines of the modern day; i would argue has added to the arrogance of man.

 Jumping forward a few thousand years and to the modern industrial revolution of a couple of Hundred years ago, mixing this with Liberalism and the secular world order philosophy negating God-and-the-natural-law.

 Lewis Mumford is a scholar of Philosophy and Technics and civilization and ontologically maps the evolution of technology and civilization (see: Pentagon of Power)

 This evolution of technology and civilization has continued but I would argue to disastrous conclusions! That Man suddenly marvelled at the Mechanics and science and it has become "the God" to all the mechanistic modes of life, seeing and understanding the world purely in a scientific or rational mind, the "Clock in Clock out" nature of work etc. are all proof of this and embodiment of this principle.

 Humankind mapping the mechanistic machines to ourselves, we, replicating, mimicking the Machines we have built! In a reflexive manner.  Creating, shaping and feeding off the machine, the machine shaping us, dictating! Has the Machine become our God! Are we a slave to the machine?

Lo! Certainly, the machine is bigger; being a slave to the machine is no erroneous position!

I say the debt (Usury) slave is real! In addition, a modern social norm for humankind!

The machine has become bigger, we are living in the machine, the way we live, our morality i would argue is defined, dictated, shackled, and humankind easily exploited in all forms including philosophically and morally by this machine

The "City" is a modern mechanistic articulation of Engineering for society, the modern work-life balance is an expression of the machine! The tall cubicle structured-buildings that we live in in the city is a machine like (anti-natural) expression of a mechanistic nature.

 I would argue that Liberalism/Atheism breeds this (mechanistic type of) expression and will continually do so to the detriment of quality of life (if left uncontrolled) the speed at which technology is developed, speeds up the pace of mankind at which it works !

Left uncontrolled, how much more will we have to give our lives to the Machine! 60 hour workweeks are already practiced is their room for more sacrifice.

Capitalism, Liberalism and atheism are all intertwined into this mechanistic mode....

I believe in best practices in living life Some of the natural ways of the God-Worshipping way is in harmony with obeying the natural way differs remarkably in the fundamentals of the mechanistic way.
