Built in the 1980s and 1990s, the Trúc Lâm Thiền Viện pagoda is a Buddhist place of worship in the Essonne department. Like the famous pagodas in Evry, Vincennes and Lieusaint
it's open to the public and allows you to discover - in keeping with all places of worship - its pretty garden and this unusual building in the Paris region
the most important is undoubtedly the prayer hall
richly decorated to accommodate the prayers of the faithful as well as services
a meditation session is organized and open to all
Access to the prayer room is only possible if there is no ceremony in progress, otherwise the pagoda is open daily from 9am to 11am and from 3pm to 5pm. Every Sunday, the pagoda also offers lunch on site, with a home-cooked vegetarian meal prepared by members of the Trúc Lâm Buddhist Institute (€15 per person)
The pagoda is accessible by public transport, using RER line B: get off at the Lozère stop, then walk for around 30 minutes. To discover this traditional Vietnamese pagoda, head to Trúc Lâm Thiền Viện in Villebon-sur-Yvette

digital protheses and expanding networks that link our virtual selves to satellite arrays in geostationary orbit
Wristwatches interpret our physical condition by counting steps and heartbeats
map the geographic location of the places we visit and record our histories in digital archives
Social media platforms forge alliances and create new political possibilities
And vast wireless networks – connecting satellites
drones and ‘smart’ weapons – determine how the wars of our era are being waged
Our experiences of the world are soaked with digital technologies
But for the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler
one of the earliest and foremost theorists of our digital age
understanding the world requires us to move beyond the standard view of technology
Stiegler believed that technology is not just about the effects of digital tools and the ways that they impact our lives
It is not just about how devices are created and wielded by powerful organisations
Our relationship with technology is about something deeper and more fundamental
which used the German term Technik instead of Technologie in the original title: the ‘essence of technology is by no means anything technological.’ This aligns with the history of the word: the etymology of ‘technics’ leads us back to something like the ancient Greek term for art – technē
such as the one you are using to read this essay
a relationship with our tools and the world
first explored while he was imprisoned for armed robbery
But his ideas have often been overlooked and misunderstood
How else can we learn to disentangle the effects of digital technologies from our everyday experiences
How else can we begin to grasp the history of our strange reality
Stiegler’s path to becoming the pre-eminent philosopher of our digital age was anything but straightforward
during a period of affluence and rejuvenation in France that followed the devastation of the Second World War
Stiegler participated in the revolutionary wave of 1968 (he would later become a member of the Communist Party)
when a radical uprising of students and workers forced the president Charles de Gaulle to seek temporary refuge across the border in West Germany
after a new election was called and the barricades were dismantled
Stiegler became disenchanted with traditional Marxism
as well as the political trends circulating in France at the time
The Left in France seemed helplessly torn between the postwar existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre and the anti-humanism of Louis Althusser
While Sartre insisted on humans’ creative capacity to shape their own destiny
Althusser argued that the pervasiveness of ideology in capitalist society had left us helplessly entrenched in systems of power beyond our control
Neither of these options satisfied Stiegler because neither could account for the rapid rise of a new historical force: electronic technology
Stiegler sensed that this new technology was redefining our relationship to ourselves
he believed the history of philosophy would have to be rewritten from the ground up
Neither existentialism nor Marxism nor any other school of philosophy had come close to acknowledging the fundamental link between human existence and the evolutionary history of tools
Stiegler describes his time in prison as one of radical self-exploration and philosophical experimentation
Stiegler opened a jazz club in Toulouse that was shut down by the police a few years later for illegal prostitution
Stiegler turned to robbing banks to pay off his debts and feed his family
he was arrested for armed robbery and sentenced to five years in prison
A high-school dropout who was never comfortable in institutional settings
Stiegler requested his own cell when he first arrived in prison
and went on a hunger strike until it was granted
Stiegler began taking note of how his relationship to the outside world was mediated through reading and writing
he was able to interface with people and places beyond the prison walls
It was during his time behind bars that Stiegler began to study philosophy more intently, devouring any books he could get his hands on. In his philosophical memoir Acting Out (2009)
studied English and memorised modern poetry
but the book that really drew his attention was Plato’s Phaedrus
In this dialogue between Socrates and Phaedrus
a theory of learning that states the acquisition of new knowledge is just a process of remembering what we once knew in a previous life
Caught in an endless cycle of death and rebirth
we forget what we know each time we are reborn
this idea of learning as recollection would become less spiritual and more material: learning and memory are tied inextricably to technics
Through the tools we use – including books
archives – we can store and preserve vast amounts of knowledge
Lyotard would oversee Stiegler’s master’s thesis after his eventual release; Derrida would supervise his doctoral dissertation
which was reworked and published a year later as the first volume in his Technics and Time series
With the help of these philosophers and their novel ideals
Stiegler began to reshape his earlier political commitment to Marxist materialism
seeking to account for the ways that new technologies shape the world
a growing number of philosophers and political theorists began calling into question the immediacy of our lived experience
The world around us was no longer seen by these thinkers as something that was simply given
as it had been for phenomenologists such as Immanuel Kant and Edmund Husserl
The world instead presented itself as a built environment composed of things such as roads
all made possible by political institutions
reality also appeared to be a construction
a former student of Althusser at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris
developed a theory of power that functions in a similar way
In Discipline and Punish (1975) and elsewhere
Foucault argues that social and political power is not concentrated in individuals but is produced by ‘discourses
Foucault’s insight was to show how power shapes every facet of the world
from classroom interactions between a teacher and student to negotiations of a trade agreement between representatives of two different nations
power is constituted in and through material practices
rather than something possessed by individual subjects
We don’t simply ‘use’ our digital tools – they enter and pharmacologically change us
Stiegler explains that he was able to move beyond Foucault with the help of his mentor Derrida’s concept of the pharmakon
Derrida began developing the idea as he explored how our ability to write can create and undermine (‘cure’ and ‘poison’) an individual subject’s sense of identity
the act of writing – itself a kind of technology – has a Janus-faced relationship to individual memory
Though it allows us to store knowledge and experience across vast periods of time
writing disincentivises us from practising our own mental capacity for recollection
The written word short-circuits the immediate connection between lived experience and internal memory
but also ‘poisons’ our cognition by limiting our abilities
Stiegler began applying this idea to new media technologies
which led to the development of a concept he called pharmacology – an idea that suggests we don’t simply ‘use’ our digital tools
they enter and pharmacologically change us
The internet presents us with a massive archive of formatted
Sites such as Wikipedia contain terabytes of knowledge
accumulated and passed down over millennia
this exchange of unprecedented amounts of information enables the dissemination of an unprecedented amount of misinformation
This kind of polyvalence led Stiegler to think more deliberately about technics rather than technology
there are inherent risks in thinking in terms of the latter: the more ubiquitous that digital technologies become in our lives
the easier it is to forget that these tools are social products that have been constructed by our fellow humans
the paths we take to get from point A to point B
all of these aspects of daily life have been reshaped by new technologies and the humans that produce them
Yet we rarely stop to reflect on what this means for us
Stiegler believed this act of forgetting creates a deep crisis for all facets of human experience
we lose our all-important capacity to imagine alternative ways of living
In the English-speaking world, Stiegler is best known for his first book Technics and Time
he highlights the vital link between our understanding of the technologies we use and our capacity to imagine the future
‘The object of this work is technics,’ he writes
‘apprehended as the horizon of all possibility to come and of all possibility of a future.’ He views our relationship with tools as the determining force for all future possibilities; technics is the defining feature of human experience
one that has been overlooked by philosophers from Plato and Aristotle down to the present
Husserl and other thinkers asked important questions about consciousness and lived experience (phenomenology)
and the nature of truth (metaphysics) or knowledge (epistemology)
they failed to account for the ways that technologies help us find – or guide us toward – answers to these questions
‘Technics is the unthought,’ according to Stiegler
To further stress the importance of technics
Stiegler turns to the creation myth told by the Greek poet Hesiod in Works and Days
Zeus asks the Titan Epimetheus to distribute individual talents to each species
Epimetheus gives wings to birds so they can fly
whose name (according to Stiegler) means the ‘forgetful one’ in Greek
presenting it to humans in place of a biological talent
The difference with Hesiod’s story is that technics here provides a material basis for human experience
server farms and even psychotropic drugs possess the capacity to poison or cure our world
presents opportunities for positive or negative relationships with tools
‘But where the danger lies,’ writes the poet Friedrich Hölderlin in a quote Stiegler often turned to
‘also grows the saving power.’ While Derrida focuses on the ability of the written word to subvert the sovereignty of the individual subject
Stiegler widens this understanding of pharmacology to include a variety of media and technologies
server farms and even psychotropic drugs possess the pharmacological capacity to poison or cure our world and
Technological development can destroy our sense of ourselves as rational
leading to widespread suffering and destruction
But tools can also provide us with a new sense of what it means to be human
leading to new modes of expression and cultural practices
Duchamp employed the new temporal perspectives made possible by photography and cinema to paint a radically different kind of portrait
Inspired by the camera’s ability to capture movement
Duchamp paints a nude model who appears in multiple instants at once
like a series of time-lapse photographs superimposed onto each other
an icon of modernity and the resulting entanglement of art and industrial technology
Technical innovations are never without political and social implications for Stiegler
may have standardised classical musical performances after its invention in the late 1800s
but it also contributed to the development of jazz
a genre that was popular among musicians who were barred from accessing the elite world of classical music
Black musicians such as the pianist and composer Duke Ellington were able to learn their instruments by ear
without first learning to read musical notation
The phonograph’s industrialisation of musical performance paradoxically led to the free-flowing improvisation of jazz performers
Technics draws our attention to the world-making capabilities of our tools
while reminding us of the constructed nature of our technological reality
Stiegler’s capacious understanding of technics
encompassing everything from early agricultural tools to the television set
Stiegler founded the Institute for Research and Innovation
an organisation at the Centre Pompidou in Paris devoted to exploring the impact digital technology has on contemporary society
Stiegler’s belief in the power of technology to shape the world around us has often led to the charge that he is a techno-determinist who believes the entire course of history is shaped by tools and machines
It’s true that Stiegler thinks technology defines who we are as humans
but this process does not always lock us into predetermined outcomes
it simultaneously provides us with a material horizon of possible experience
Stiegler’s theory of technics urges us to rethink the history of philosophy
art and politics in order that we might better understand how our world has been shaped by technology
And by acquiring this historical consciousness
he hopes that we will ultimately design better tools
using technology to improve our world in meaningful ways
the developers of Beauty.AI advertised the contest as an opportunity for beauty to be judged in a way that was free of prejudice
was that the tool they had designed exhibited an overwhelming preference for white contestants
The digital economy doesn’t always offer desirable alternatives as former ways of working and living are destroyed
In Automatic Society, Volume 1: The Future of Work (2016), Stiegler shows how big data can standardise our world by reorganising work and employment
Digital tools were first seen as a disruptive force that could break the monotonous rhythms of large industry
but the rise of flexible forms of employment in the gig economy has created a massive underclass
A new proletariat of Uber drivers and other precarious workers now labour under extremely unstable conditions
They are denied even the traditional protections of working-class employment
Stiegler suggests that the growth of widespread surveillance tools is at odds with the pharmacological promise of new technology
they are also used to deny us worlds of possible experience
Our very sense of who we are is shaped and reshaped by the tools we have at our disposal
is that when we pay too much attention to our tools
rather than how they are developed and deployed
merely describing the technological world on its own terms and making it even harder to untangle the effects of digital technologies and our everyday experiences
By encouraging us to pay closer attention to this world-making capacity
Stiegler is showing us what else is possible

Shopping at Costco is an experience like no other. Between the expansive product selection, bulk pricing, free samples, and iconic food court
the warehouse club knows how to set itself apart in the retail industry
Among Costco's 848 locations across the globe are clubs of varying sizes, with different features and distinctive product offerings
From the biggest superstore in Salt Lake City
to the former prison-turned-warehouse in South Korea
here are some of the more unique Costco locations across the world
9 Most Overrated Grocery Items at Costco, According to Customers
The superstore opened its doors in 1994 and expanded in 2015 to include a Business Center
In addition to the warehouse's notable size as a whole
the Salt Lake City Costco features three 3,000-square-foot coolers
one being a large walk-in refrigerated dairy section
as well as a freezer with whole roasting pigs and lambs
On the other end of the spectrum is Costco's warehouse in Juneau
That would be pretty big for a standard supermarket
Despite the location's relative small size
While an average-sized Costco has about 3,800 products
the Juneau store doesn't fall too far behind with Green reporting that the store carries approximately 3,200 items
Have you ever worked up an appetite while shopping at Costco, but the food court just wasn't doing it for you? In Kahului, Maui, shoppers have even more options. Right outside of the warehouse, members can dine at one of two different food truck parks. Directly across the street from the club's gas station is a food truck courtyard called Plate Lunch Marketplace
which sells various noms ranging from tacos and Thai food to burgers and fresh seafood
Beyond this food selection, there is another, even newer food truck park, located across from Costco's food court that opened in early 2021. Some of the food offerings include poke, sushi, and gyros, though The Hawaii Vacation Guide noted this food truck park to "still [be] getting established so some food trucks come and go."
If traversing Costco's aisles isn't enough of a workout for you, another location in Houston, Texas, can help you work up a sweat. Houston's Greenway Plaza retail center
is home to a Costco with an LA Fitness above it
That's one way to work off the $1.50 hotdog and soda combo
This Costco location also has two water systems designed to help with Mexico's chronic water shortages
there's the on-site wastewater treatment facility that produces greywater that can be reused to flush toilets and urinals
there's a water catchment system that collects and stores rainwater that can be reused for the recreational fountains and lakes at Parque La Mexicana

BURSASGXHomeTechBy KUALA LUMPUR (July 25): French semiconductor manufacturer Weeroc plans to invest about RM20 million and start operations in early 2025 at the Puchong Financial Corporate Centre in Selangor
Weeroc has signed a letter of intent with the Selangor Information Technology & Digital Economy Corporation (Sidec) during the Selangor International Business Summit 2024 on Thursday
Sidec will assist in Weeroc’s operational launch in Malaysia
particularly with the growing need for artificial intelligence-related semiconductors
Sidec chief executive officer Yong Kai Ping told The Edge after the signing ceremony
the challenge lies in attracting local talent
the company is a start-up founded by Dr Salleh Ahmad from Selangor employing about 10 engineers
Weeroc specialises in developing chips for satellites
The signing ceremony was witnessed by Minister of Investment
Trade and Industry Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari
Selangor state executive councillor for investment
and mobility Ng Sze Han and Invest Selangor Bhd CEO Datuk Hasan Azhari Idris
Selangor recognises Weeroc’s potential in the fabless semiconductor industry
particularly in precision-analog and radiation-hardened integrated circuit (IC) design for the aerospace and photodetection sectors
a Selangor government agency to develop the state as a digital hub
we don't have enough engineers specialising in this area,” Yong said
“We need to highlight Malaysian talent and focus on attracting and training them.”
As the world’s sixth largest exporter of electronics and semiconductors
Malaysia plays a critical role in the global electrical and electronics supply chain
Malaysia is responsible for 7% of the semiconductor trade flows as well as 13% of back-end operations globally
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced in May that the government aims to attract at least RM500 billion in investments for chip design
and semiconductor chip manufacturing equipment through the National Semiconductor Strategy
