‘Philosophy necessarily remains untimely, and this is because philosophy either projects far beyond its own time, or else binds its time back to this time’s earlier and inceptive past.’
– Heidegger
(ItoM)

THIS IS SO INSPIRING!

Immanuel Kant's personal copy of Baumgarten's Metaphysica—the textbook he used for over 41 years—was filled with notes, questions, objections, and reflections in the margins.

Don't just read philosophy. Engage with it.

'[A]cademic moral philosophy fails as a discipline of inquiry [because] of the extraordinary pressure exerted to sustain the status quo.'

Software technologies basically evolve in only 2 ways

- being simplified up to the point of becoming utterly dumb and useless, e.g. markup langs: xml > json > yaml

- being complicated up to the point that nobody has a clear understanding of what's going on, e.g. cloud ecosystem

God is dead—unless:

'The only possibility of maintaining a meaning for the concept of "God" would be: God not as driving force but as maximal state, as an epoch . . .'
