ME: Whenever you speak of Aristotle, I don’t recognize Aristotle. Whenever you speak of Hegel, I don’t recognize Hegel. Whenever you speak of Marx, I don’t recognize Marx. Whenever you speak of Heidegger, I don’t recognize Heidegger. Whenever you speak of Eldred, I don’t recognize Eldred. Would seem to indicate that you-and-I exist only in a mode of privation. Yes, that is absolutely the case, Eldred, and never the ‘twain shall meet. I have the same problem of abscence of the good substanciates evil with the dialectioners of fundamentalist Christianity and Marxism. However, the privation of Lethe does not make for aletheia. The problem here is that I happened to take the trouble to read your treatise, *˜Capital and Technology: Marx and Heidegger™* Thus it remains, “I yam who I yam” said Popeye the sailorman, meaning: you can fool Yankee doodle some of the time and most of the time but not all of the time. sincerely; in privatio boni, Bernard
