Man has come to place between nature and himself an area of pure technical creation so thick and deep that it has come to constitute a "supernatural".
And mass man is irretrievably inscribed and placed in this very artificial supernature as primitive man in his primordial natural environment.
And this carries a risk; as he opens his eyes to existence man finds himself surrounded by a fabulous quantity of objects and procedures created by the technique that form a first artificial landscape of such thickness as to conceal the primary nature beneath it, he will tend to believe that as in nature, all of this exists by itself; that the car and aspirin are not things that need to be manufactured, and they had to be invented (with method and genius) but things, such as stone and plant, which are given to man without his prior effort.
That is to say, he can lose consciousness of the technique and of the moral conditions, for example, in which it is produced - returning, like the primitive, to see in it only natural gifts that exist in themselves and do not require the effort to support and maintain it.
So that the prodigious expansion of the technique first made them stand out above the sober repertoire of our natural activities and allowed them to acquire full awareness of it, but with the continuation of its fantastic expansion, its growth makes this consciousness cloud.
