In Ep 14 we go over some of the book’s core terms (Dasein, Grounding, Beyng, History), after which we discuss the distortions of Shanahan’s views on IVF as an example of historiology, Truth U vs SJU as defined by Haidt as an example of our critique of liberalism’s trend toward historiology, and the question of...

In Ep 13 we read about Dasein as the site of strife between earth (self) and world (identity), about Beyng as grounded in the abyss of time-space, about how being that is under the domination of the abandonment by being comes to be or not be according to its immediate graspability, usability and serviceability to...

In Ep 12 we read section 8 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) and discuss the distinction between earth/self and world/identity, the other beginning as a domain of decision, story vs. history, self-renunciation vs. self-annunciation, how to know if you’re thinking, infinite possibility vs. historical possibility, and the courage to step out of the...

In Ep 11 of Leaping Cholla Podcast we read about surpassing the objectively present determining transcendence that assumes the human being is already known, discuss the connection between Event and Beyng and what the changing of that one letter (Being – Beyng) might mean, and thrill at the urgency of feeling alien to the “light...

In Ep 10 of Leaping Cholla we read about the remoteness of the last god in the place of the highest decision, the possibility that there won’t be events or history in the other beginning, and the four worldviews that emerge from our understanding of transcendence – 1) as the god of christianity, 2) as...

It’s dark in the yurt, and we’re working through the basic disposition of the other beginning, realizing how to renounce the refusal of Beyng is to possess it, exploring the mixolydian connotations of Erahnung, questioning anxiety as inferential confusion, and wondering about the proclivity to call certain persons “flawed.” Available here or on Spotify or...

In Episode 8 of the Leaping Cholla Podcast we discuss the unique simplicity of the thoughtful moment, the intimations and withdrawals in which the last god comes and goes, the importance of inkling over wonder, and we finish with the reading of a list of actions that Kirk made, called “the Heideggerian solution to insomnia,”...

In Ep 7 of Leaping Cholla Podcast we discuss the taking of byways through the indirectness of the effects of philosophy, the appropriation of Dasein by the turning of the Event, the empty calories of lived experience, and the passing by of the Last God toward which our stillness is disposed as we seek the...

In Ep 6 of Leaping Cholla we continue reading through the challenging Section 5 of Contributions to Philosophy (of The Event). Discussed here are the importance of restraint in determining the style of inceptual thinking in the other beginning, the trained compulsion to presence all phenomenon, the prooflessness of philosophical propositions due to the transformation...

Episode 5 of the Leaping Cholla Podcast dives into section 5 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) by Heidegger with discussions on “presencing” as Derrida explains it in his book on Heidegger, what “originarily historical” thinking is, and how philosophy is strange because it is “the self establishing and being transformed immediately into relations...
