vs
Tech-based solutions limited by framing assumptions, such as:
assumptions include:
solution by novel technology
no change in car and airplane travel
no change in consumer behavior
no change in commodity-based markets
Engineering research implies
(1) new technology rather than non-technological considerations;
(2) the solutions have to be “new”
(3) Solutionism : the drive to find a “solution” to a "problem" rather than
determine and achieve socio-economic-symbolic conditions
under which the problem does not even arise.
All good approaches are welcome. But how shall we tackle things in proportion to their strategic importance from cosmopolitical, ecological-economic, biosocial, historic as well as poetic-symbolic perspectives?
