It Is Not an Anthropocene; It Is Really the Technocene: Names Matter in Decision Making Under Planetary Crisis

We do not understand what we see but see what we understand. Words shape the comprehension of our environment and set the space of possibilities we can access when decision making. In here we make the case for the use of Technocene instead of Anthropocene using well-grounded arguments in basic scientific principles. We already know that the Earth system has co-evolved with life phenomena (i.e., the evolution of atmosphere chemistry). What the Technocene idea makes clear is that as modern human societies exhibit an enormous coupling with technology and for the first time in human history that technology has the potential to modify the very core processes that drive Earth System dynamics, then Technology must be considered as a new dimension of analysis in the study of Earth system in its coevolution with life and particularly human beings.

它不是人类世;这真的是技术新世纪:在行星危机下的决策中名称很重要

我们并不理解我们所看到的,而是看到我们所理解的。文字塑造了我们对环境的理解,并设置了我们在决策时可以访问的可能性空间。在这里,我们使用基本科学原理中的充分论证来说明使用 Technocene 而不是 Anthropocene。我们已经知道地球系统与生命现象(即大气化学的演化)共同演化。Technocene 的想法清楚地表明,随着现代人类社会表现出与技术的巨大耦合,并且在人类历史上第一次技术具有改变驱动地球系统动力学的核心过程的潜力,那么技术必须被视为一种地球系统与生命特别是人类共同进化的研究中的新分析维度。
