DecisionMaking
Technical Means: steel
End: movement
An end is chosen, let’s say to make movement and transportation easier. We decide to make automobiles.
With that end in mind, a decision is made to use steel to make the automobile.
The technical means for making, and shipping the steel are decided.

End: speed
but it uses a natural resource (steel), and contributes to our valuing lighter and faster cars. A new end, speed, a perverse end, arises.
The means fulfill our original need
DecisionMaking End:
movement
End: speed
With this new end (speed) in mind, new decisions are made to enhance the speed of the car.

The means for building faster cars fulfills (1) the value of speed; and (2) it contributes to the need for the production of big and fast cars.
Means (steel) have now justified means (faster cars). Means and valuable ends are severed.
