Heidegger's critical response to the enframing of technological mode of being in late modernity can be found in an ethos of dwelling. To dwell is to find one's place. To find one's place is to recieve and care for an abode; to care for a place in the face of technological growth that determines our future as historical beings who are homeless.
A dwelling ethos loosens the grip of technology if it is a dwelling that is no longer structured by possessive mastery over the land and other beings.
