2025/05/06

Our glimpses into the distorted essence of beyng via machination and lived experience continue in sections 64-67. We read how “farthest from them is the power of preservation, whose place is taken by exaggeration, out-yelling, and mere blind screaming, in the wail of which one crows over oneself and deludes oneself in order to escape...

Leaping Cholla Podcast ·

2025/05/02

In sections 62-63 we read about machination concealing itself through the prescriptive force of “lived experience” as actuality, objectivity, and correctness. This uncovers how the addiction to lived experience supports and is supported by such standard liberal dogmas as relatability, community, and affirmation. We conclude by discussing the implications of Harvard’s rejection of Trump’s “activist...

2025/04/25

We start at section 60 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) and read how self-certainty, calculability, unquestionability, machination, and knowing “who we are and what we are supposed to do” contribute to the lack of a sense of plight and the loss of the knowledge that “genuine selfhood occurs in a grounding beyond oneself.”...

Leaping Cholla Podcast ·

2025/04/22

In section 59, we read of the denuding of every disposition until all is common and average, of the era of complete unquestionableness, of the new bewitchery as the dominance of machination, and of humans falling prey to the hunt for lived experience. From this vantage we look at several aspects of liberalism: the bias...

Leaping Cholla Podcast ·

2025/04/18

In section 58 we dive into Heidegger’s exegesis on the three ways the abandonment by being cloaks itself – in calculation as a “basic law of comportent,” in speed as “the inability to withstand stillness of concealed growth,” and in the massive as “the most acute opposition to the rare and the unique.” We then...

Section 55 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) gives a deep and beautiful description of the abandonment by being and by beyng that beings have suffered due to the compulsion for objectivity, for the “in itself,” and for the nihilism that has flowed through metaphysics since Plato and culminated in the “secular successors” of...

2025/04/04

Sections 53 and 54 are combed thru this episode, and they’re all about the difference between plight and progress. Progress has to do with well-being, prosperity, an unbroken supply of useful and enjoyable things, but it has no future, as it merely “takes things that already are and expedites them ‘further’ on their previous path....

In section 43 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) by Heidegger we read of decision, both in its standard existential-psychological-anthropological sense of choosing or preferring and in its more originary sense as an opening of the temporal-spacial playing field in which the appropriation of Dasein by beyng takes place.
