		new: “‘Fly away from us historically,’ Heidegger says (in effect)”; “becoming post-Heideggerian”; and “Heidegger and ‘technology’” (late January). In 2015, I thought of this topic area as more than honoring a singularity of philosophial history. But that must be relative to our ownmost understanding of our times, for which Heidegger’s texts are unlikely to be insightfully helpful anymore. So, this area would be a venture in honoring intellectual historiality in Heideggerian terms. Today’s occasioned discussion on technology is done in that spirit. August 2015 This topic area has not really begun. I’ve added some earlier relevant postings which provide a sense of context: from interest in our evolutionarity through facing the Anthropocene to reconciling to where we are.

	5/30/2025	“Fly away from us historically,” Heidegger says (in effect)
			Heidegger wanted students to contribute to their own times, not get scholastic about his own times.

	2/7/2025	becoming post-Heideggerian
			This overviews what I’m generally doing with Heidegger’s thinking.

	1/22/25	Heidegger and “technology”
			reflections relative to the publisher’s description for an upcoming book on Heidegger and 21st century scientific industries.

	8/6/15	notes of language
			“Language” for Heidegger is beyond (and precedes) linguisticality. This has very difficult implications for understanding his thinking. But academic advances are beyond his prospections, though I haven’t ventured into detailing that yet.

	11/20/13	the question of being now
			Life is short. Great grandchildren will be arriving before you know it.

	5/7/14	days Of Tissue
			This links to a simulation of the evolution of the universe. Our star system is a relatively young one among galaxies speeding away from each other. Having a sense of that is enjoyable, though we will never know ultimately why there is anything at all. But we can enjoy being the times we are, as intelligently as possible. January 2025: By the way, if you imagine the video as a super-slowed model of processes which happen in seconds, the video might be a good analogy for the formation of statistical patterns (rules or value preferences) in machine learning (“A.I.”).
