>This metaphysical task—to grasp being as such and beings as a whole—is not simply a theoretical discourse. It is not something in our mind, but rather a will. This will changes the way the world is known, felt, experienced, and constructed. The metaphysical will subordinates itself to the transcendence of the divine and becomes a means of theodicy. Yet God is not necessarily a mysterious transcendence, but rather the ground of rationalization, as we have found regarding the various proofs of the existence of God. The pantheism of Spinoza is a way to unite the divine with nature (deus sive natura), in which the divine is immanent in the substance that it produced. It is not until Nietzsche that God is murdered and a new ground of rationality has to be constructed—a ground that is at the same time a ground and an abyss. In cybernetics, Heidegger sees a totalizing force tantamount to an exclusive rationality. Therefore, Heidegger was looking for the other thinking, which no longer bears the name philosophy. It matters little for us whether it is called philosophy or something else, but Heidegger sees the necessity of taking another trajectory of thinking in order to think about another beginning. Heidegger wants “Heidegger wants to take another path, which I formulated as cosmotechnical thinking. However, he wants to do this without cybernetics, meaning that he wants to find a beginning that is already pronounced but not yet thought. In order to understand in what sense cybernetics is the end of philosophy, we will still need to understand what cybernetics is and how the organicist and reflective logic of Hegel stands as a precursor to cybernetics...

well this is a pleasant surprise

>who the fuck is Yuk Hui?
a very cool theorist you may not know about. Heidegger, Simondon, Stiegler

>i don't want to read a whole book tho
okay, read this

aw yeah boi

yeah, it's kind of a teeny little book. but it's cool tho. the Phenomenology of Spirit fits in your hand about as nicely as any book you can find, and vol I of Capital is appropriately massive. i've never owned a hard copy of Fanged Noumena (which is deeply sad) but YH's book is a nice one.

and in the Spring, another one too, fy. and it's about time we had a Heideggerian-ish computer scientist too. i have a feeling that combination is going places. someday even Uncle Nick will be old-fashioned

well, the field is wide open. the computer science stuff, about which i have absolutely zero non-pseud opinions, is where it's at. it's why i'm looking forward to yuk hui's book on this. at least he's got the chops to talk about that stuff, he actually knows code or has at least a much better sense of it than most of the continental types.

and badiou loves math but the math loses me completely. it's just something that can talk about repetition and automation, this sense of what it means to initiate commands, program and be programmed, and the rest. the re-construction that follows the great age of de-construction won't be utopian, it will probably mean more and more time spent feeling as though we are being turned into programs beholden to massive planetary operations. but i don't always want to be looking at things like a marxist.

capital is the ground floor, there's no getting away from that. but that's not all there is to it, any more than the point of a spaceship is to consume fuel and keep the holodeck clean. that's what we're doing now, but it's the abuse of the progenitor craft.
>star control 2 did nothing wrong

land is an interesting guy but he's not the only guy. he's just a guy i think is keyed in to some of the themes of postmodern life after the linguistic turn.

also chinese social credit is giving me fucking nightmares but you knew that already.

anyways, talk more about your stuff anon, if you can or if you want to. lord knows i've put enough of my own half-baked ramblings on the board...
