Leaping Cholla Podcast

We read sections 140-142 of Heidegger’s Contributions. Here is discussed the event that oscillates in itself, the reciprocal grounding of Dasein and beyng, the last god self-suspended in the abyss of time-space to rend the net of events that beyng remain unique and divine, and the extinguishing of the great fire. Then, in the wake...

We read section 139 of Heidegger’s Contributions, of beyng essentially occurring while beings are, of the full historical carrying out of inceptual thinking, and of the conflictual domain of strife in which beyng has been covered over by presence as paradigmatic for the interpretation of beings. We then discuss how liberalism is an obsessive flight...

We read sections 137 and 138 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event). Herein is discussed the fact that beyng is not some accessory to being, that beyng is not knowable through presencing, and that understanding is the opposite of an I-subject and its lived experiences, but is instead the self coming to itself in...

We read all of section 136 in which Heidegger discusses the relationship between beyng and being, highlighting the disposition of restraint by Dasein against its availability to the gods, the role of the actual, and the “privileged now” theory of time of the first beginning and the other beginning’s concept of memory, preparedness, and a...

In sections 134 and 135 we read about how the “relation” between Dasein and beyng is in a sense not a relation at all, at least not in the way subject/object is. Beyng essentially occurs via an appropriation of Dasein, so they exist in a dynamic interplay. From here we discuss the liberal aversion to...

In section 133 we read of beyng needing humans and humans belonging to beyng, of the uniqueness, unrepresentability, strangeness, and self-concealment of beyng, and of giving up our lostness in beings in order to be appropriated by beyng. We then discuss art, creativity, failure and poo-pooing in the context of the liberal compulsion toward domination....

In sections 131 and 132 of Heidegger’s Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) we read about the excess that comes of the self-concealing, withdrawing from the mathematical retrogression that comes of objective conditions of possibility, and leaping into the truth of beyng rather than preliminarily defining the ontological distinction between beings and beyng. We then...

In section 130 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) we read about how beyng essentially occurs as the event, how no formula can say what is essential, how beings emerge out of beyng, and how strangeness is a common characteristic of beyng. From here we discuss the liberal tendencies to demonize alienation, negate nature,...

In sections 128 and 129 we read of human beings having exclusive access to beyng via the self, of nothingness, not as negativity, but as a no that is an essential, creative yes, and of the spurious distinction between affirmation and negation. We then talk about how these ideas point to problems with escaping the...

In section 127 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) we read of the intimacy of beyng that is attained via the fissure that is created thru the refusal. In this fissure can be found our trembling and the battle among the gods. We then discuss some possible implications of this framework for how the...

In sections 125 and 126 we read about the connections among beyng and God and being in philosophical history and in the creation process, how beyng attains its greatness by being that which the gods need, and of the necessity for art in whose work the truth is set in bringing being to beyng. We...

In sections 124 and the first half of 125, we read about the task of bringing the essential occurrence of beyng into the grasping word and how time must become the ecstatic playing field of the truth of beyng. From these perspectives we discuss communism as violence, the dangers of fraud yoga, and “everything must...

We read section 123 of Heidegger’s Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) and discuss its main points, including the trembling that expands the temporal-spatial playing field, refusal as the intimacy of the allocation, and defense against the plight as its preservation. We then use what we’ve learned to diatribe on “no one is illegal on...

In section 122, we read about the Leap as the thrown projection that carries out the truth of beyng. This thrownness testifies to itself, and the more the projector projects, the more he is thrown as one who is already thrown. As it throws itself into the open realm wherein it catches on to the...

In section 121 we go through an extended metaphor by Heidegger of “the scale.” On one side, place all objectively present beings and the machinations that congeal and entrench them, and on the other place the projection of beyng. Where does the needle go? Always to the former in order to prove the ineffectualness of...

We conclude section 120 in which we read how “thinking, as inceptual, grounds the time-space in its structure of transporting and captivating and penetrates the fissure of beyng in its uniqueness, freedom, contingency, necessity, possibility, and actuality.” This leads to discussions of how the modal logic inherent to anxiety treatment, and liberalism in general, prevents...

We start section 120 and begin to learn about the leap, which is “the leaping into a preparedness for the belonging to the event.” The there where the gods come and go is manifested by the leap. Through the leap we are appropriated by beyng as the ruth of beings. We then discuss how thought...

We continue through section 119, reading about the transition to the leap, time as the original unity of the self-clearing and self-concealing, and the dislodging of humans out of the lack of a sense of plight. Further discussion is had of how liberals are story-driven LLMs, how timeless causal connections are the hallmark of liberal...

We start section 119 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) and read about preparing for the leap by asking about the question of beyng and the objectification of beings in the abandonment by being. We then go on to discuss how sanctuary cities, international law, and the communist compulsion for control are projections of...

We read section 118 in part 4 (The Leap). Herein we learn of the extreme projection of the essence of beyng whereby we come to ourselves for the first time, as well as the ground of the decision regarding the direction and range of the projection. We use these ideas to discuss what it means...

In section 117 (The Leap) we read about the decisionary space of the clearing/concealing, the uniqueness of death as the unusualness of beyng, and the “death of a god” as “the most frightful jubilation.” In relating all this to the liberal/post-liberal transition, we discover the conceptual deceptions that underlie the basic assertions of the historical...

We conclude Part 3 of the book (The Interplay) and head into Part 4 (The Leap). We read about the necessity of distinction and uniqueness, aka hierarchy, that is necessary to open up being, the history of being that has led up to the need for the leap into beyng, and the disposition of diffidence...

In sections 111 and 112 we read of the apriori, what is “first by nature,” the paradigm, the descent, the origin, and how the form covers it all up. This leads us to question to the compulsion to search for a first, to believe in a nature that is always present, and to seek cures...

We finally conclude section 110 by reading about idealism, and its most insidious scion, biologism. The final section is a questioning of ideal form, human being, and biologism. We then spin into various musings over liberal logic and its narrative warfare. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.

In subsections 21 and 22 of section 101 we read of the “scions and consequences of Platonism,” aka the ideological lineage of liberalism, as theories that adopt values, meanings, ideas and ideals; self-evident ways of questioning; and “life-philosophy” that results in “extreme confusion raised to a principle (aka transcendence).” We then discuss some post-libera...
