@Corngold said in Donald Trump defies the laws of aging. An obese, garbage food eating insomniac conquered the world at 78 (politics aside):
Humanity is about humanity in the literal sense of the word "about." But language is not about language. We have to understand that people are using language and thought, and that is what is shaping language and thought, which makes language "about" language.
It's rather about a discourse.
"Discourse determines how knowledge is formed, legitimized, and applied in society. It limits what is thinkable and unthinkable, visible and invisible, normal and deviant."Moreover, tamed people most often reinforce certain discourses and build tools (e.g. Facebook or cryptocurrencies) that support them. And then they tame people even more... I.e. there is a constant interaction between people (culture), tools, and narratives with various feedback loops between them...
In other words, Heidegger is writing for a particular time and place. He should be read more like a novel or a painting.
Yep. BTW Why are these ancient German old farts still being squeezed?
Currently, we have far better interpreters of reality like for example Mexican Miguel DeLanda or Korean-German Byung-chul Han...
