"We have to unpack this a little he uses the term “historical way” in English. I think what he means is a change so great that it would indeed be historic. We are not talking about minor adjustments to the world embracing system. We are talking about real change that will come from within the West. The translator used the word “conversion” but I’d rather call it change. Heidegger says Zen Buddhism or other paths are not going to bring about this change. Why? Because they are not at the root of the technical world. It is wholly the child of European thought and arose out of the enlightenment. Its meaning is the adage of Hölderlin, „Where the danger rises, there to is its salvation.” This is a principle in creation. You will always find a remedy to a poisonous plant near it and as the Messenger of Allah said, “Allah has not sent down any disease except has also sent down its cure.” So what could the remedy be? What is it that Heidegger’s waiting for?
Now let us take a step back, this all embracing technicity that has encircled our world, is as far as we know entirely new. It’s nature is computer driven and has not left any part of our world unimpacted. From the Amazon to Arctic, the dust of technology has fallen on everything. It is important to know that so far, the best critique of this world changing event has come from Europe and the deepest understanding of it has come from Germany. That is in part why we are doing this interview series.
There are few, though I am sure they are there, in the East who have understood that the illness that has spread for more than two hundred years from Europe, has its cure in the depths of the Western heart. Heidegger says again and again, “Where danger grows, there to grows salvation.” If the world would wake up to the systems of inequity, we have created and perpetuated, we could go a long way...
It is essential not to be confused, the problem is not technology or tools per se, rather and this is the important thing, the problem is usury"
