>the Big Three Masters of Suspicion - Marx, Freud, Nietzsche - together with the Original Progenitors (the German Idealists) and the Later Disciples - Lacan, D&G, Land - are more or less the stars and leading lights of this thing.

and i forgot pic rel in there, who obviously plays a pretty huge role of his own, maybe even the decisive one. in the podcast i was listening to last night, Land was saying quite a lot about Kant in the usual way, but he was also saying (and indicated as much in the Murphy interview) that he didn't want to stray too far from Heidegger either. and certainly MH is That Dude as far as YH and Stiegler are concerned. so...yeah.

once we are through our reading of T&T (1) we can perhaps recap some of the reasons why Heidegger matters in the world today v/technology (and prosthetic memory, and tertiary protention, and other stuff). as indicated, YH has a book coming out in the Spring all about recursivity and contingency, and those seem like pretty germane things to think about in the 21C. but - alas - we must wait! gaarrrrh.

anyways, all of this to say that i'm still kind of fleshing out as much of what this all means as anyone else is anon. but i'm mos def interested in whatever stuff happens peripherally that can make it more clear, or accessible, or engaging. 'twould be a good feeling. and it would be neat to see. Cosmotech both is and is not Acceleration - in many ways, it is a kind of deviation or departure from it, because Acceleration will burn you out too quickly (and if you check Land's twitter, he seems to think NRx may be dead also). and i really like YH's ideas of a *kind* of moral metaphysics to accompany this, especially if it complements and doesn't just *resist* what Stiegler (and maybe even Sloterdijk?) are saying about (anthropo-)technics also.

it's quite a story, in other words.
