The chapter essentially argues for a thoughtful integration of technology within the Anglo-Futurist vision, where technology supports and is shaped by cultural values, promoting a future where technology enhances rather than disrupts the communal and cultural life of England.
What about the argument that we are natural beings, even animals, and we are simply manipulating our environment by doing these things, like a competent intelligent species should?
I think the problems start when the technology manipulates us, warping our perception of the real world. We then become out of step with reality, and gradually move into a state of confusion.
Anglo-Futurism is a work in progress. Each time I’m writing about this I feel like I’m developing the idea further. Getting push back is good. So thanks for the comment, it helps.
Local is the way to go! I’m starting to be evangelical about this.

No problem. It's nice to do a bit of whataboutery without the original poster getting all defensive

Therefore it's all natural and there is no separation.
