Following Heidegger's idea that there is no fundamental difference between the mechanised farm and the extermination camp, in their essence, I say that quantified ideas are no different from the exhumation of corpses and the tearing off of mud and limb before the incinerators. Against Adorno's quip that poetry is impossible after Auschwitz, I say that prose is impossible after the spinning jenny, dragoons and halberds, the Peace of Westphalia, Gutenberg's press, divine right, Magna Carta, crucifixion and enduring spectacles, the theory of non-contradiction, Christianisation, and the fall of myth to theological law.
Strangely enough, we are now at a point where the written word is instantly stamped into the logic of the museum, the chemist shop of communication made possible by grave-robbers. The word is deprived of all sense and human feeling, yet it petrifies the reader into a fine powder - the mind-body dualism of brain spatter on the mortar and pestle.

lmao, the irony
"Where Heidegger went wrong was in trying to write mechanised poetry for a field battalion of idiots. This was an impossible catastrophe of form as it betrayed the idea itself into an eternal undoing as instrument. In short, he enframed his metaphysical troops within the certainty of their own pointless deaths, wandering into a field of battle as if it were a nice stroll along the Sunday path. Figures and tallies of beings charging headlong into their doom, cut off at the knees by a squad of men entrenched among a grove of ash trees a mile off. Oh how long the list of names that the turning dogs of Actaeon might become."
