Heidegger

rene today:

>>We are still there where reflexion is to start, not in the Contributions,
>>not in BT, but in the nihilism diagnosed by Nietzsche, and denied or
>>neglected
>>by all, incl. me.
>>
>>and more: we have the reason why this nihilism is let out. It is America
>>(Europe etc.) itself, the home, place where one happens to be, and which
>>one cannot afford to doubt, esp. now. That this makes it all worse, also
>>cannot be acknowledged. Arguments don’t count, the growing aridness of the
>>intelligence services convinces by itself.
>>
>>because philosophy is just over, and every attempt at it, without
>>acknowledging what must be acknowledged, is vain, let’s try this.
>>Even if one sticks to the values of rationality and effectiveness:
>>is it not all too obvious, that everything we witness today: IT,
>>journalism, law, stockmarkets, financial markets, MUST be parasitical?
>>and that only the enlargement (and elimination) of masses can finance
>>it?
>>
>>not reacting in any way condemns to that horrible practice in Guantanamo,
>>i don’t mean the all too obvious degradation, but the will to master
>>the opponent BEYOND his death. That commander said that suicide proves
>>the opponent’s DISRESPECT FOR LIFE. Is that not the most horrible and ugly
>>responsibility-fleeing autism?

OK, Anthony, I mean to answer this since you’ve thrown down the gauntlet,
but not in any way for one or other in your mutual disputatiousness, and not
now anyway (I have to think slowly how to put what I want to lay before you
in order to avoid getting enrolled in what is not my dispute, so please be
patient, I’m slow, I’m oldish and I behave like a reptile in hot weather,
but most of all I want to try and think this and not react, OK?)

“… There might be meaning
Behind the moaning
No body’s acting
Behind the seeming
I don’t care — right
If the world gone wrong
It’s not my business
It takes too long
Ah” [’Signal to Noise’ by Delighted Mutations]
