Abstract
Abstract Recently, geologists in Southern Nevada discovered new deposits of naturally occurring asbestos and microscopic fibers in rocks and soil. The danger is that inhaling them can lead to mesothelioma. One problem is that this rare cancer often takes decades to manifest. This discovery abruptly stalled a highway project near Las Vegas. Due to this condition, management developed numerous protocols to keep workers safe. Using this case as a “thought model,” the author challenges an established way of categorizing kinds of technologies as they relate to the concept of being. In turn, this thought model reveals that climate change alters the conditions for being, as recognized in the literature. Advancing this conversation requires that we must reclassify some technologies and develop a categorization for those that reflect a different way of thinking as it concerns being.
Highlights
Researchers hold that over a million square kilometers of undeveloped land will be appropriated for urban centers by 2030.1 Numerous infrastructures are required before people can populate these future places. One such challenge that developers, planners, and engineers must address is the possibility of encountering hazards such as naturally occurring asbestos (NOAs) and microscopic fibers present in rocks and soil.[2]
When we think about these ideas in the present context of wicked problems, such as climate change, we discover that we are facing a new challenge to our being
This article identified how the taxonomy of technology that we inherited from Heidegger needs revisiting
Summary
Researchers hold that over a million square kilometers of undeveloped land will be appropriated for urban centers by 2030.1 Numerous infrastructures are required before people can populate these future places. Construction crews recently encountered this situation near Las Vegas while building a highway bypass.[5] The discovery of NOAs brought production to a halt, requiring management to create safety protocols to ensure that workers were not significantly put in harm’s way.[6] These measures decreased the overall exposures, supporting efforts to keep the laborers safe.[7] this issue raises several ethical worries for workplace safety and future residents, there are ontological concerns that require attention Exploring this case – the nexus of infrastructure, urban sprawl, and. This article ends by examining some of the future research areas that could use this expanded taxonomy
