It is clear that for Heidegger, as for Orwell, WE are the danger, but we keep on running away, to Auschwitz, Iraq, or George Elliot, 't is indifferent. Instead of protecting the vulnerable, you, like Jud, like Anthony bring them as evidence into the slaughterhouse.

I can assure you that I have just as much contempt for you. 

     I don't have contempt for you. Only you must be crazy, when that is your conclusion. I have merely explained
     about slaughterhouse and cattle. There was more to it, than when you first thought: now i've got him, no? 


Your abysmal ignorance and arrogance are quite astounding (my intellectual conscience would forbid me such stupidity). Merely a mouthpiece for thinking that has degraded into worldview. Stuck to the Heidegger/E.Juenger regurgitation machine like super-glue, posing in the prophet pose of grand exhortation and historical diagnosis, citing the master ad nauseum without admixture of any thought of your own. You could just as well be a Marxist. You must never have been moved by a genuine philosophical question in all your life. Instead you have found your orientation figures to whom you cling unquestionably.

But it's the usual thing, and you are not exceptional, just exceptionally arrogant and exceptionally ignorant  From the Marxists I get the converse shit, just have to change the sign from plus to minus or v.v -- including the grand historical pronouncements. It's quite funny.

So I must have been doing something right, leaving the fold of believers way behind who have found their respective totalizing ideological homes.


   Against ignorance and arrogance there are weapons. You think that your position does not need
   dialogue, but it's only in dialogue that they are met. Now *this* is contemptible, staying away
   from the others. I speak with children (by preference), of my friend's school, when they pass
   by, and the friends of my children: Father is making money, mother ensours. It's everywhere.
   That is nihilism. When nihilism is a power, it must be met where it can be experienced. 
   
   So i can live with the thought that i'm despised by you.
   Can you live with the fact, that, despite everything, i do not despise you?
