[jgannon]

You both bring out the best in each other. Very profound discussion.

[freeman]

Yes, despite his claims to be deconstructing metaphysics, Heidegger was still looking to return to some lost origin, shelter, home, etc... But this is a great discussion, and the topics that are the most taboo, controversial, & make us uncomfortable are the topics we need to talk about the most.

Appreciated this 👍 Is there a pointer to an entrance to “meta-modernism” that you could offer? Thank you!

[jakecarlo]

Also (sorry to bother you again) can you tell us who Pascal is referencing at @21:21 w/ the critique of modern education -- "Gurge" "Gurgis" (???). Thanks again.
