welcome back anon, thanks for re-joining this thing. i'm re-upping your image from yesterday for collective perusal.

>It all comes back around.
this, or something very much like this, is like the Know Thyself to be engraved above the entry to Cosmotech U. postmodernity leads into automation and from then quite possibly into time-spirals. but some things remain the same for all that.

that is one of the things about those Seven* Wise Men of the Cosmotech time-loop:

>Hegel
>Marx
>Nietzsche
>Heidegger
>Lacan
>Deleuze
>Land

...the ol' Vicious Circle.

i guess Kant is technically the first guy in, and it would make land happy to give him his just due, but...well, we'll see. and because Eight Wise Men doesn't sound quite as good (although it is better than "Eight And a Half, If You Include Guattari").

>What is decisive is not to get out of the circle but to come into it the right way… In the circle is hidden a positive possibility of the most primordial kind of knowing. To be sure, we genuinely take hold of this possibility only when, in our interpretation, we have understood that our first, last and constant task is never to allow our fore-having, fore-sight and fore-conception to be presented to us by fancies and popular conceptions, but rather to make the scientific theme secure by working out these fore-structures in terms of the things themselves.
