zizek is still a guy and he matters. before hickman disappeared he was on a huge tear about Less Than Nothing, and he was a guy who had read land and others thoroughly. any barely conscientious soul can see that something today is rotten in the state of denmark, and that this may be one of those things like the crack in the golden throne. it cannot be fixed but only papered over/sublimated/repressed for as long as possible.

that concept of ontological incompleteness is i think why heidegger rocked my socks as well, if i can borrow that. everything coming-to-be, and the elusiveness of language to ever match up with its object, until it becomes a question in good faith, piety of thought...and so on. such was heidegger's phenomenological magic, as much as i understood it.

thanks very kindly too for the excerpts from that book and the reviews also anon.

he just seems like a guy with his heart in the right place. however dark it may be, discovering that book was a real treat. makes life so much easier when there are go-to reads or authors you can look to.i have seen TSP recommended before too, i may pick that one up at some point.

as for greentext i have some stuff from mumford to share but it's more just kind of Crusty Cultural Observer stuff that i agree with, and relates the same story told by MG in Yuga. it's funny, too, i noticed glass' name being mentioned along with baudrillard, marx and ellul. Yuga really is a major go-to read for Cosmotech stuff precisely because it is the tourist guide to the wasteland, to the desert of the real. so maybe we'll see about mumford if it's just stuff you can read in Yuga anyways.

the stuff i was posting yesterday from YH is a different aspect of Cosmotech, that being theories of time. the zimmerman guide to heidegger i think explores pretty well the shock of the encounter with modernity that heidegger feels, because it is still our own today...we just don't realize it, because it is all taking place in the background of the consumer society, and hidden behind a dense ecology of advertisement so much a part of our day to day world that it's like asking a fish about water. and yet it is there, and once seen cannot be unseen.
