Yo guyshad a chance to go to an amazing local arts and music fest this weekend. Just people camping and creating.I don't know if you have ever gotten a chance to read Heidegger, but this essay (linked below) touches on a lot of things that went through my head while I was out there.How we build. Why we create. How we construct ourselves and our dwellings in many of the same ways-and how they interact with one another.it made me realize a lot of things about my activities and their intentions.
I am pretty sure Heidegger is making a critique of institutionalism in Building, Dwelling and Thinking. He adopts this clunky modern lexicon, of building, for a few reasons at once. Maybe it is because it genuinely allows for a middle point, or pause where things are contemplated, in our world. We dwell in building, or build in order to dwell. In fact, Heidegger argues, not all buildings are designed for dwelling, which is also obvious when we consider factories, office buildings etc. This is the initial framework for Heidegger's 'building dwelling thinking' which looks into the relation between dwelling and building and asks what it means to dwell, how does building relate to.
It made me recognize the differences in how a creative act can be communicated. The end result of this was that I realized the kind of potential my activities can have can be realized much more powerfully in the real world as opposed to online. I would argue that it is the same for all of us. So I am reorienting ALL my activity towards the communities my life is enmeshed in to strengthen the bonds that tie them together, and transform them into something more powerful. I think community internet boards are a small platform that anticipates this, and the most likely precursor to the transformation of community ethicsthe internet brings us together so well, especially the outliers.
But in that virtual amassing there is the potential to lose something unique to real life communication. And we may mistake the map for the territory. Living for the sake of knowing.

Living for the sake of passive thinking. Living for the sake of reacting to the others.
Not creating anything whatsoever. I cannot let my life come down to those things, but the internet makes it very easy to do just that. 'so beware, and beware, and BEARE! The ongoing WOW is happening right NOW!!' Have a great existence guys, its been real enough. Hey good to see another Heidegger shout. Hope your reading goes well.I have a copy of the basic writings.
I never read this one though.here is a thought. From reading the beginning:I think Heidegger is always contextually conflicted inasfar as he attempts to reconstitute or rescuciate something essential in philosophy. Often he finds it entangled or amassed in a modern lexicon or the practical reality of technologically engineered world that nullifies its meaning. The translation from German may have something to do with this tension or conflict (as always), but I see a real conflict in terms too in any case.
Building is an obtuse idea for philosophy - funny that we assume it then, according to Heidegger.For example he starts this essay by saying he is conflicted by the 'means and ends' split in thinking, in its particularly strong resolve to duality, but at the same time, he also suggests that this sort of thinking in its essence (which be considered rooted in Aristotle, in phronesis) is exactly what is forgotten so far as it is taken for granted as established this way.In fact, we do not often think explicitly about means and ends, as any basis of thought. (Also, see the beginning of 'Letter on Humanism' for a similar comment). In our modern pragmatism; philosophers, scientists, and common sense folk in general all talk about what is true or not to any conception, and at every point see things derivatively from this. Mean and ends are implied. Quote:The end result of this was that I realized the kind of potential my activities can have can be realized much more powerfully in the real world as opposed to online. I would argue that it is the same for all of us.
So I am reorienting ALL my activity towards the communities my life is enmeshed in to strengthen the bonds that tie them together, and transform them into something more powerful. I think community internet boards are a small platform that anticipates this, and the most likely precursor to the transformation of community ethicsMakes enough sense to me.
