for philosophically countering Bozo politics

---

Seventy years after Heidegger pursued his post-Holocaust, post-Hiroshima “question concerning technology,” the U.S. now has a Bozo administration welcoming intimations of techn-fascism.

I have the answer!—at X (screen shot there). I would argue that the humanities (U. of Penn. project) make genuine democracy possible, though I see conceptual modeling differently than the U. of Penn. project.

My extended cynicism against Bozo turns into bibliophilic hope for “moral” philosophy in conceptions of educational excellence—though being “moral,” to me, is just ethical pragmatism treated as statutory normativity.

My discussion leads into a sequenced sense of moral conceptuality which can credibly ground a post-naturalistic sense of evolutionary ethics.

I’m working steadily, but openness to emergent themes goes where it appeals. I may have more to share next week or not. I hope to get closure on new developmental work this weekend.

I see a way station ahead, nearing more easily each day. I’ll write you from there.

Heidegger receding into the distance

Giving attention to Heideggerian themes feels regressive for me these days, but Heideggerians turn up in my online life: A Facebook group of serious students and scholars of Heidegger was pushed my way by Facebook; a new academic encyclopedia page on Heidegger irks me.

But also, I’ve wanted to provide an overview of what I’m doing altogether relative to long Heideggerian influence (like being more attracted to doing autobiography as one ages).
