 As our world arises to modernity and development, coming with it are problems
that we often overlook because it does not directly affect us—two of those problems
being negligence of nature and poverty. For years and years, solutions have been
proposed, all of them having the same bottom line: economic growth. However, as
Jason Hickle described, nothing will happen if we focus on developing third-world
countries. Instead, we should concentrate on de-developing first-world countries, focus
on making the economy thrive and not grow any further. Correlating to Hickle's de-
development framework is Martin Heidegger's claims towards technology or "standing
reserve," as Heidegger calls it. Heidegger sees technology as a threat and a mode of
revealing the truth about us; how we interact with the world. With our obsession with
economic growth, Heidegger noticed that our relationship with nature is money-driven;
that we see the world as a resource to be exploited and not our home that we need to
take care of. He also recognized that relationships between people are influenced in the
same way, not being able to form genuine connections and companionships, all of it for
the sake of networking and career gain. Therefore, applying Hickle's de-development
framework in this sense is genuinely needed to help both us, humans, and nature out of
this hyper-productive concept of a modern world. It may seem that both of them are
anti-technology, but all they are saying is that we should be responsible for the
technology we have in our hands and stop taking whatever we currently deal with for
granted.

Incorporating Hickle's de-development framework and Heidegger's standing

reserve with Aristotle's concept of happiness, there should be nothing wrong with de-
development. Having all this technological advancement will not guarantee happiness
and improve our quality of life; instead, it is about making the right choices and possessing
good morals and virtue that will make us truly happy and our nature thriving. It is not worth
it if it means that we need to lose genuine relationships with our loved ones and damage
our environment to the extent that we can't take it all back.
