Daily decisions and actions follow the leadings of our concerns, attitudes, beliefs and habits of heart and mind. Technical problems are generated by our being misled. Techniques can not prevent us from so being misled. Techniques can only help us get to where we are being led by our concerns, attitudes, beliefs and habits of heart and mind. Techniques have to do with means, not with choosing goals, values and ideals. While it is not possible to be in full control of our concerns, attitudes, beliefs and habits of heart and mind; we may in subtle ways lead them into new ways which are not as likely to mislead us, as are our old ways of being and doing. A little effort in choosing such subtle ways can pay big dividends which technology can not pay. Wisdom lies in making such subtle efforts, not in telling ourselves lies about the powers of our technologies. Our technologies cannot compensate for the ways we are misled by disintegrative concerns, attitudes, beliefs and habits of heart and mind. We are not wise when we believe that our sophisticated technologies and techniques can save us from the consequences of our self deceptions about the powers of technology by which we seek to be in control.
