Vandana Shiva - Two Paths to the Future of Food and Farming - EcoFarm 2020 Keynote

- Dr. There are two paths to the future of our food and farming. The first
path is made by walking
with nature, co-creating
and co-producing with
sensitivity, intelligence
and care with diverse
species, the living earth
and her complex web of
life. This is the path of
life which has sustained
humanity in its diversity
over millennia. Each
community and culture
has co-evolved its own distinctive path according to its climates, soils and biodiversity, and contributed to the diversity of food and farming systems. The diversity of cultures of food and agriculture are united through the common and perennial principles on which life is based. Today these common principles practised by diverse schools of ecological agriculture--organic farming, permaculture, biodynamic farming, natural farming, etc.--are referred to as Agroecology. This is the path to the future.
The second path is the industrial path based on fossil fuels and poisons. This path is the path of death. It
goes against the principles of nature and life. It violates the principle of diversity and imposes monocultures and uniformity. It violates the principle of giving back and extracts from nature and farmers, disrupting ecological sustainability and social justice. It is the path to biodiversity extinction and climate catastrophe, of destruction of small farms and displacement of farmers, and the spread of hunger, malnutrition and chronic diseases. Walking further and faster down the path of extinction is not an intelligent choice.
Ecological agriculture is an ethical, ecological and survival imperative.
Dr. Vandana Shiva is a world-renowned scholar and tireless crusader
for economic, food,
and gender justice. Dr. Shiva was trained as
a physicist, and later shifted her focus to interdisciplinary research in science, technology and environmental policy. In 1982, she founded an independent institute, the Research Foundation for Science,
Technology and Ecology, which was dedicated to high quality and independent research to address the most significant ecological and social issues of our times
in close partnership with local communities and
social movements. In 1991, she founded Navdanya, a national movement in India to protect the diversity and integrity of living resources, especially native seed, and to promote organic farming and fair trade. In 2004, in collaboration with Schumacher College, U.K., she started Bija Vidyapeeth (Earth University), an international college for sustainable living in the Doon Valley in Northern India. Time Magazine identified Dr. Shiva as an environmental “hero” in 2003 and Asia Week has called her one of the five most powerful communicators of Asia. Forbes magazine in November 2010 identified Dr. Vandana Shiva as one of the top Seven most Powerful Women on the Globe. Among her many awards are the Alternative Nobel Prize (Right Livelihood Award, 1993), Order of the Golden Ark, the UN’s Global 500 Roll of Honour, and The MIDORI Prize for Biodiversity in 2016.
Brilliant.
She is the life directly speaking to you.

Dear Vandana Shiva, we are happy you are doing so much for the organic sector in agriculture and protecting seeds.
I belong to the Indigenous community of the 7 islands of Mobaim / Bombay. Our ancient focus was always on biodiversity first. Farming in low tide salt marshes gave our people the salt variety rice. Sadly with the right wing and their colonial ways here in India, our islanders are now marginalised, our lands taken for development projects and many variety of seeds disappeared.
We must now focus on ecosystems and not only agriculture to feed one human species the variety of plant species. We must think of leaving the natural system alone and only forage and farm without extending our lands into the forests.
We have our ancient indigenous customs that are in harmony with 'Mai Maati' (Mother Nature). The Aryans came, rishis observed the indigenous and then formalised the systems of food and medicine and then colonising the indigenous nation. I work with the indigenous tribes all over India. And they feel the same. They grow pepper and other crops but are given a miserable deal by the baniya (Hindu) community who sells and exports them. Our indigenous peoples lands are taken away by giving voting rights to non-indigenous migrants who change the topography and the biodiversity with their wicked ways (Assam, Bengal, NE, Kokan, etc.). We must speak some time on this. i can give you a perspective of the indigenous of India. My Genetics show 60,000 years in the same latitudes 72 degrees east (Mobaim Islands) through the national geographic genome project. Our ancestry is not 4 or 5000 years as per Aryan data. Ours is older. Sadly our indigenous people are relegated to second class citizens, our people are killed in Operation Green Hunt, and in Mining activities by the non-indigenous through contracts given to friends of the sanskari government. Our Indigenous are the marginalised and the sanskari are posing as the new organic farmers. Where is the indigenous in all of your presentations? I have many indigenous Kumao friends and researchers. This monopoly of the indigenous ways must stop and credit given where due.
I was at the UNCCD COP 14 and i raised my voice for the indigenous of India and the world over. Our knowledge systems are ancient (More than 5000 years). Everything is not meant to be eaten. But to be shared with the other sentient beings who share the planet with us (Bugs, birds, animals, micro organisms - Little ones). We are aware of what plant species can be eaten, but we dont eat all. Because we know which insects and animals eat them. This knowledge many dont have. That love and empathy for Mai Maati not all have. Please look at farming only for human 'Need' not for human 'Greed'. Our baniya and other traders who have our essential commodities in the stock market for their profit are killing our people and our land and then they migrate to USA UK for a better life. Because of them our indigenous are suffering. We dont get fair price for anything. Our people are being exploited for long.

Thank you Luke you are a brilliant man..very well explained...I hope people start realising how far we have strayed from nature & only education can turn is back to our origins..I will look at your website & spread your message for support in every way I can. God bless you my brother🙏🏾
Dr. Shiva, it is very enlightening on agro- ecological system. Thank you for your noble cause.
Oh...wow..so happy to read what you have to say, Luke! Specifically "everything is not meant to be eaten. But, to be shared with the other sentient beings". Breaks my heart that greed prevents us from living in such a commonsensical way on this planet. Thank you.
She is hero, like mother earth

She is amazing!
She is unbelievable!! Amazing. Thank you for sharing this.
Namaste!!! She is amazing!!! The Western culture is full of "take as much as you can, give back as minimal as you can." That is why we must live mindful living. Everything we consume taxes Mother Nature who has been so good to us. Our greed leads to more and more extraction and exhaustion of resources from Mother Earth, farmer deaths, social disparity and dangerous world order run by power hungry politicians , policy makers and corporations. Dr. Vandana is just amazing. We need people like her to heal Mother Nature.🙏
This woman should be a global icon! I’m an African and I’ll spread her message!
Shiva has attracted intense criticism from the scientific community for perpetuating long-debunked myths about agriculture, biotechnology and food safety.
"Shiva is scheduled to speak in late January at Stanford University and the University of California, Santa Cruz on “equitable and sustainable” farming methods. Her positions on a variety of issues have irked and at times outraged scientists who consider her a disseminator of misinformation who profits at the rate of $40,000 a lecture (or more) to spread propaganda critical of mainstream views of biotechnology. Raised in prosperity, this Indian Brahmin was formally trained as a philosopher, embracing and promoting a form of Quantum Theory that is now widely dismissed. She often falsely claims that she is a trained physicist, and those false ‘scientific’ credentials are often echoed by her supporters. The GLP has carried numerous articles about her history of misstatements and fabrications (here, here, here). She was the subject of a scathing critique, “Seeds of Doubt,” by Michael Specter of The New Yorker, which documented her history of misleading claims and what Specter maintained often verged on anti-science gibberish.
For more than three decades, she has relentlessly campaigned against globalization, focusing on food and agriculture socio-economic issues and an opposition to GMOs, free trade and intellectual property rights. She alternately promotes land redistribution, indigenous and peasant farmers’ rights, organic-only food production and ayurvedic health practices over conventional medicines, all of which she characterizes as an “earth democracy” movement necessary to restore “harmony,” people and nature.
Shiva receives financial backing from high-profile activist groups such as the Center for Food Safety, which shares offices with her in Washington. Among her most controversial talking points is her false claim that there was no hunger in India prior to the Green Revolution. The truth is almost 180 degrees the opposite, as the Green Revolution, marked in part by the introduction of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides enable massive increases in food production. A recent review of the evidence shows, “the production of cereal crops tripled during this period, with only a 30% increase in land area cultivated.” Shiva also blames the Green Revolution for increasing poverty, indebtedness and despair among farmers. Her notorious allegation that the introduction of insect-resistant GMO crops in India led many farmers to commit suicide has been evaluated and dismissed as inaccurate. Shiva is also a fierce opponent of so-called Golden Rice, a crop engineered to combat vitamin A deficiency in developing countries.
In response to the scheduling of her two talks at Stanford and UC Santa Cruz, 39 scientists from around the world co-authored an open letter to both universities protesting the invitations. The signatories told the GLP that their aim is to alert the events’ organizers, participants and attendees to the numerous falsehoods in Shiva’s philosophy. The letter, reproduced below in full, blasts Shiva for her “use of anti-scientific rhetoric to support unethical positions.” Neither university has scheduled a scientist to present the evidence-based case for crop biotechnology." geneticliteracyproject.org/2020/01/14/39-biotech-experts-open-letter-protests-anti-gmo-activist-vandana-shivas-anti-science-talks-at-stanford-and-uc-santa-cruz/
Dr. Vandana, the more I listen to you, the more I am convinced you are more than a woman, you must be a goddess, sent to earth out of the great peril the planet is in today and the crisis, perhaps the last and decisive one, humanity is being challenged with. I am so inspired by your presence, your authenticity, the power of your being, I feel a new courage springing out of me, a purpose and meaning to live.
I am looking at the work you are doing and at ways I can be involved with it and support it.
Infinite thanks to you! 🙏
I am a grower of my own food and I love everything you said, thank you for being the voice of those love Mother Earth and know of her gifts. Ay hay!!
Vandana Shiva gives me hope and I am ready to do my part. Like Alan Savory she is so concrete and real. The fakery is the shiny white men with the smart tech.
No she is a fraud. She would see millions starve then use proper farming tech to feed children whom suffer from malnutrition.

@@txag007 That statement hows clearly that you did not listen to what she said...and never have, so your statement could easily indicate you are a Trump stooge, which unfortunately for you does not indicate much of an intellect..
We must not let her dedication go in vain!
@@gerrys6265 txag0007 and I listened closely to what Shiva says. It confirms she is a fraud and blatant liar.
She is my new idol!
But more than that she is such a human being!
She is full of sweet sounding bullshit.
God ! She is from my town , and I didn't know it. What an amazing woman and real professor. The way she explains is like God talking to us and every single word I can understand.
One of the rarest video in youtube I watched without forwarding !!!
Today , is they day I met her and I am sure this definitely changes the way I am living my life !!! March 5th...
Tremendous knowledge of HISTORY & current corporate control of the Globe. "The Poison Cartel" Human Rights she is a TRUTH speaker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A person can not be more brilliant than our beloved Vandana Shiva. I would even suggest every country make a political party which aligns itself with her teaching... so that we can all follow her. This way we can unite in necessary action, and wisdom of Earth can be spread all over the world, a world which becomes peaceful through the activity of united creation of civilization in the mood of humanity, which necessitates respect for Mother Earth.
There's brilliance in a lot of different subjects. Like geniuses in their own right. Love this lady but don't take away from other who are great in their profession or subject lol
I Love this woman ! Such a Great human being. So mach love to life. Real life MASSEGE ,WE NEED TO LISTEN AND LEARN FROM. Bless you Vandana Shiva.
I have been following Dr Vandana Shiva since the late 80s. An absolutely extraordinary woman. Magnificent overview here of Imperialism, Capitalism and Technocracy, how they developed together and have come to contain, define and circumscribe everything - from our food to our personal data. Extreme technocratic elitism in culture, agriculture, finance and technology - a small coterie of psychopaths causing devastating destruction to all that is free, living and truly human. No surprise then that a few months after this address is given in scenic Asilomar, a 'global virus' presents a spanking new opportunity for crisis-creation, absolutist control, mass surveillance and a power-grab aimed at our very vitality as a connected, dynamic, global community. Thank goodness for Dr Shiva, especially in such a context. She is a miracle.
Monsanto and Microsoft are not the embodiment of capitalism. They actually represent the corruption of capitalism by mega corporations. Capitalism is the small family farmer who owns his own land, works hard to raise his crop and then uses or sells the proceeds as he chooses to support himself and his family. That farmer has a huge incentive to care for the land that he needs to provide for his family.
@@buckthorn7084 Uh, no. Capitalism is by definition the control of the economic processes of society by those who own capital. Hence the word CAPITALism. What you're describing is the very opposite of capitalism. It is subsistence farming or fair trade economics. Where everyone produces what they like and either consumes it themselves or trades it fairly with other producers or consumers. Theoretically, capitalism replaced subsistence economics. But now we need to wipe out capitalism and bring what you are describing back. To give everyone a right to contribute to the economic life of a society and to reap the benefits. Everyone. Equally. That is true civilization and advancement.
@@amitamukerjee8195 Capitalism is an economic system in which the means of production are privately owned. If a small farmer, who owns his own land, decides to sell some of his produce at a road side stand, he and his customer have engaged in capitalism. Capitalism is not a dirty word, but just like ANY economic system, it can be abused by those who see others as a means to an end. The alternative to capitalism is some form of collectivism where the individual is reduced to a mere cog in the economic machinery of the state.
The satans war against the Creator and the creation
I love her so much. She is the voice that millions, billions need to hear right now. Every word makes sense and forages a path of a livable, compassionate future that values what really matters
She forges a path of lies.
TO Duke steel: Put a sock in it you ignoramus, or come up with a proper criticism based on real facts. (Which I suspect are incapable of doing, just parroting big agro lies)....
@@charliebrandt2263 You didn't have the balls to tag me, I had to stumble on this comment.
Dr Vandana Shiva is so inspiring
She is a great inspiration for the World 🌍 World 🌎 ,Humanity,Nature, the Gods and the Enlightened Ones.
She’s very Aptly named, The Destroyer(of delusion and false lies)
And She’s also Shiva the transformer into this Golden Age..
Her vast knowledge of the destructive, deluded games at play in the minds of mischievous lower primates like gates and zuckerberg , gives us an incredible tactical advantage to help in bringing these fools down.
I don’t think I will be able to sleep tonight.
Thank you 🙏 Dr Vandana
Tomorrow I will start campaigning to get Dr Vananda’s message out to as many people as possible

She MUST be the part of govt of india for policy on agriculture. We need brains and we have it too

She is. Look at her resume. But the lobbies of the big chemical companies are very strong and are infiltrated in every government around the world like a cancer.
@@marlan5470 Totally agree with you but we need smart and sharp minds like her and strong headed politicians who have the balls to stop them.problem is also with people who are so busy with individual lives that we dont want to raise voice against all the wrongs .Robotic lives.
@@sandyg9362 The individual lives can certainly go on being individual. What matters is that the farmers need to change how they see their land and become land managers, not farmers. There is really not much need to get into debt buying seed, buying chemicals to put on the land. The farmer can make more food, make more money if they begin applying the principles Dr. Shiva proposes. And no need to break their backs plowing the earth.
@@marlan5470 you are from which country ?farming in india is very tough and farmers are very poor.
I am with you here in USA! Namaste!
What a extraordinary way or can say spiritual intelligence she is blessed to link each and every hook of the chain that is getting tighter around the neck of humanity as a whole
I love you my sister and your movement and speak the history!
You are so beautiful in your love for Earth and Humanity.🌸💕
I wish people would listen and hear her, and use our purchases to remove power from the top billionaires. We are the reason they have so much power and we are becoming poorer and more destitute.
You speak the truths for all human kind!!! All humans need to learn about this! And ACT upon it. This could very well save the human species! People of this earth must realised by now that how the world is ran in the past 300 years is not what a responsible care taker of our environment should be. We need to stand up strong and fight for the freedom to live in harmony with the earth and live strong and meaningful lives here on earth!!!!
Listen up folks, Vananda combines intellect, exertise and feminine wisdom. If we want to prosper whilst being in balance with nature she is the kind of person to show that way.
Many informed people are revolted by the malicious lie being spread by that professional fraud Vandana Shiva. There is no specific connection between GMOs and Indian farmer suicides. Even the Indian press resents the implications. Here are reliable sources dispelling the myth: purushatma.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/vandana-shiva-the-pseudoscientific-feminist-fraud/

@@popeyegordon Sadly you are so far off the mark here its painful! Agribusiness farming is the main driver of the destruction of soils today, (even worse than poverty) and the poisoning of our environment; ( I suppose the collapse of insects in Europe by 80% in the last 30 years is just accidental?) Healthy soil is the best absorber of C02 on the planet today and it's destruction will be the end of us. But your ignorance will only continue this deadly pursuit to our extinction; driven by arrogance and greed....As for the press: You only have to look at the treatment of the pandemic in the mainstream Indian press to see that they represent a false picture of the crisis in India right now and certainly are only vehicles for the powerful.......

Wise old woman. Accurately describes the "climate change" stuff as a SYMPTOM of the true underlying problem (abusive agriculture), NOT the problem itself. Wise old woman.
I respect this woman, a real sheroe!
What a Speech incredible💐💐💐
Write down what she said: now write the truth given to us all repeatedly by this being, and teach your offspring. The only truth of our existence is kept in this one being. I don’t understand spirituality, but I know that only truth gnaws at my spark of existence. I claimed atheism my shield against the lies of my species. Now I come to the understanding through her, I am what she is. Her existence is the accumulation of any and all questions answered for mankind and how existence into perpetual existence might be successfully achieved. We are but seed ourselves.

Thank you
I studied agriculture but today I'm a primary school teacher. When I graduated and realised the reality of the work I would participate in I had a mental breakdown because it made no human sense. I started gardening in my home and encourage me friends and family this was great but i didn't get to a point of making enough capital to pay bills. Today I teach because I need to get back to a point where I can farm to pay the bills mentally and economically .
🔥 Temporal life or worldliness (Sansara) means an attempt to make oneself happy at the cost and sacrifice of others (total indifference to other’s welfare and miseries).
Temporal life (Sansara) or Spiritual life (Parmartha) both have only one goal in view viz: to attain happiness. Material life (sansara) and spiritual life (parmartha) both aim at one thing but results are quite the reverse. In one there is endless misery while in the other there is boundless and unexcelled Eternal joy.

A real pioneer!
A pioneer of hucksterism and fraud. Indian environmental scientist blasts anti-GMO celebrity Vandana Shiva for ‘baseless’ assault on biotech crops June 9, 2020 "A reader curious about celebrities’ role in the radical environmental movement emailed me recently. He wondered if …. their claims about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) were credible.
[Editor’s note: Vijay Jayaraj holds an M.Sc in environmental science from the University of East Anglia, England]
He was particularly interested in anti-GMO claims by …. Vandana Shiva. Shiva is no newbie to GMO. She speaks often against it. Her celebrity status gives her high visibility. Recently, Shiva claimed that Bill Gates perpetuates Monsanto’s work by promoting GMO in India. She said GMO crops have a lower yield than non-GMO. She also said farmers would not choose GMO if not for Gates’s influence.
Her claims are baseless.
I come from a region with high agricultural output. I know many farmers. The Indian government has no control over their choices of seeds. Farmers are concerned about their livelihood. Most prefer crops that give larger yield. Why? You can guess. They give higher profit margins. Farmers prefer [biotech] crops. Only a few experiment with organic farming.
Many so-called “organic” products in India have high traces of toxins. That makes them dangerous. But they also cost twice as much as non-“organic.” Expensive, organic coconut oils from India sold in the United States may not be completely organic, despite certification.
Shiva is popular in the media. But 95% of the farmers I know (hundreds in my own family circle) reject her ideas.
India’s two major political parties support GMO. True, a few individuals side with the anti-GMO lobby. But the dominant position is based on solid scientific testing.
Yet anti-GMO groups have blocked GM crops through court interference. Shiva is a leading agent.
Shiva’s claims on GMO farming are false. She calls Golden Rice a hoax. Golden Rice is a GM variant that can help eradicate vitamin A deficiencies that cause blindness and death. Scientific authorities in nations like the US and Canada declare it safe and beneficial. Over 100 Nobel Laureates have hailed it.
Although Shiva is involved in an anti-GM cartel, she is ignorant about GM. She is neither a biologist nor an expert on genetic science. Her bachelor’s degree was in physics. She specialized in the philosophy of science. Her doctoral dissertation mused on the “hidden variables and locality in quantum theory.” Vandana Shiva is a radical environmentalist. Her anti-GMO policies reduce poor farmers’ profits and deprive other poor people of affordable food. Pop-culture celebrities like her, who pontificate on matters on which they know little or nothing, are a menace to agricultural and economic development." clashdaily.com/2020/06/pop-culture-celebrities-a-hurdle-to-agricultural-and-economic-liberation/
So grateful for India.
Dr Shiva, thank you for your thought provoking speech. I will be following your work regularly......from the South Pacific region
What a powerful message... My absolute SHERO
These are some fools who gave this lecture a thumbs down.....
we are part of the whole.
UA-cam doesn't seem to like such a great video, it's clear why.
If only the Governments would listen to her we all would be healthy and life would be so much better.

father is water, the son is the food, and the holy ghost is the air you breath, the 3 are one, all three give you life.
We see you so much clearer 🇬🇧.
Thank you Dr Shiva so very very.much for your wonderful wisdom
"One Earth, One Humanity" is being DEEPLY CENSORED. I challenge anyone to TRY TO BUY THE BOOK! All over the internet, this book is "Currently Unavailable" or "Out of Stock" or "Not Yet Published -- Coming July 2019." This book cannot be found. Not at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Abebooks, Alibris, Thrift Books, Book Depository, Bull Moose, Walmart e-Books, not in ANY libraries, not anywhere, not even in India. There are almost no reviews, no "Look Insides," no PDF downloads, no updates on future availability, just nothing. It's worth noting that this book was first published in July 2019, so it ought to still be available. But no, this book has been "disappeared." I think Bill Gates bought up every copy and burned them.
I just love this lady.
An enlightening speech: the vision of money-makers like Bill Gates against the vision of sustainable and equitable human life.
Such an extraordinary person such a REAL topic. Thank you so much for your wisdom.🦋💚
*Shiva has attracted intense criticism from the scientific community for perpetuating long-debunked myths about agriculture, biotechnology and food safety.*
"Shiva is scheduled to speak in late January at Stanford University and the University of California, Santa Cruz on “equitable and sustainable” farming methods. Her positions on a variety of issues have irked and at times outraged scientists who consider her a disseminator of misinformation who profits at the rate of $40,000 a lecture (or more) to spread propaganda critical of mainstream views of biotechnology. Raised in prosperity, this Indian Brahmin was formally trained as a philosopher, embracing and promoting a form of Quantum Theory that is now widely dismissed. She often falsely claims that she is a trained physicist, and those false ‘scientific’ credentials are often echoed by her supporters. The GLP has carried numerous articles about her history of misstatements and fabrications (here, here, here). She was the subject of a scathing critique, “Seeds of Doubt,” by Michael Specter of The New Yorker, which documented her history of misleading claims and what Specter maintained often verged on anti-science gibberish.
For more than three decades, she has relentlessly campaigned against globalization, focusing on food and agriculture socio-economic issues and an opposition to GMOs, free trade and intellectual property rights. She alternately promotes land redistribution, indigenous and peasant farmers’ rights, organic-only food production and ayurvedic health practices over conventional medicines, all of which she characterizes as an “earth democracy” movement necessary to restore “harmony,” people and nature.
Shiva receives financial backing from high-profile activist groups such as the Center for Food Safety, which shares offices with her in Washington. Among her most controversial talking points is her false claim that there was no hunger in India prior to the Green Revolution. The truth is almost 180 degrees the opposite, as the Green Revolution, marked in part by the introduction of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides enable massive increases in food production. A recent review of the evidence shows, “the production of cereal crops tripled during this period, with only a 30% increase in land area cultivated.” Shiva also blames the Green Revolution for increasing poverty, indebtedness and despair among farmers. Her notorious allegation that the introduction of insect-resistant GMO crops in India led many farmers to commit suicide has been evaluated and dismissed as inaccurate. Shiva is also a fierce opponent of so-called Golden Rice, a crop engineered to combat vitamin A deficiency in developing countries.
In response to the scheduling of her two talks at Stanford and UC Santa Cruz, 39 scientists from around the world co-authored an open letter to both universities protesting the invitations. The signatories told the GLP that their aim is to alert the events’ organizers, participants and attendees to the numerous falsehoods in Shiva’s philosophy. The letter, reproduced below in full, blasts Shiva for her “use of anti-scientific rhetoric to support unethical positions.” Neither university has scheduled a scientist to present the evidence-based case for crop biotechnology." geneticliteracyproject.org/2020/01/14/39-biotech-experts-open-letter-protests-anti-gmo-activist-vandana-shivas-anti-science-talks-at-stanford-and-uc-santa-cruz/
She reminds me of my grandma.
Dr.Vandana Shiva Is A Woman 👩 OF..
《GREAT BENIFICAL KNOWLEDGE!!》
《■ THANK YOU!!...MADAM!! ■》
So without addressing the way economies and taxation work, we cannot solve environmental issues. It's time to stop thinking of technology as a benevolent thing and start asking the hard questions.
