the existence of these multiple modes of time, tho. it's really a thing. just consider the following Short History of Time Travel:

Kant replaces God with Time.
Hegel replaces History with Spirit.
Marx replaces Spirit with Capital.

now marx's Capital arguably has two modes of temporal existence, the money form and the commodity form, and moreover all of this is Waiting For The Revolution. marx is a fucking colossus, btw. he does not deserve half the shit that is thrown at him. true, a lot of ridiculous stuff was done in his name. but those days are over now. the actual guy who was looking at this process didn't *invent* Capital any more than freud *invented* the unconscious. all they did was try to express what they were seeing as best they could. anyways.

Nietzsche posits the Eternal Recurrence, the basic form of the circuit.
Heidegger 'platonizes' Nietzsche, in a way, by changing the terms: N's WtP becomes H's 'openness to Being.' but in B&T, two parallel modes of time: the ontic time of technology and the ontological time of poetry.

Spengler has his own enormous thesis about Culture and Civilization, including the winter phase, which echoes heidegger's 'end of metaphysics'.

Lacan fuses Nietzsche and Heidegger together to create 'Oedipal Time,' including the phases of imaginary, symbolic and real. the therapeutic journey is the subject-analysand's traversal of that symbolic realm, the near-impossibility which delights Zizek to no end.

D&G posit Aion, the time of Events, and Chronos, the time of Measurement. they don't even go near history as hegel imagines it, and yet they stay Marxist. the Mechanosphere thus presented may in fact bear some resemblance to hegel's 'realm of slow-moving spirits' described at the end of PoS, but hegel-D&G connections are probably a bad idea.

Land re-hegelianizes marx by suggesting teleoplexy. more recently, he has been suggesting that Bitcoin instantiates artificial synthetic Kantian time, and he might be right about that. i guess one question to ask is whether or not he has now smashed hegel inside of kant or kant inside of hegel. it's hard to tell.

in a more boring sense, but not less important for being so, Daniel Kahneman's 'Thinking Fast and Slow' is arguably the psychologist's way of re-presenting this story told better imho by philosophers but perhaps with more sobriety.

and now Yuk Hui, no slouch either as Cosmotechnician/astral engineer. by drawing on stiegler's concept of tertiary protention and simondon's idea of transduction, YH has actually offered a really crucial new perspective on the meaning of technics and time. stiegler is a boss here for having come up with a thesis about time that heidegger overlooked (that is, *memory* and its relationship to technics), and YH thinks simondonian transduction is the right way to explain technological innovation. it also gets the mad bonus points for being a land-compatible theory.

Does anyone else feel sexually aroused by the fact that the Spire in Diamond Dogs was slicing the characters up and that bit where Grafenwalder depresses the button to electrocute Trintnigant and later gets turned into his science experiment?
