Man is an earth worm enamored with a star. Victor Hugo I found - TopicsExpress



          

Man is an earth worm enamored with a star. Victor Hugo I found Jean-Pierre Dupuy refreshing and even ordered his book The Mark of the Sacred from watching this back and forth with Žižek. Dupuy references Heidegger, Weber, Bergson, Tom Cruise (from Minority Report), Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle, valentines day cards etc. Fast forward to about 25 min till about 55 minutes to get his talk. He fleshes out his notion of Enlightened Catastrophism- which is essentially a novel way of interpolating free will and determinism using the Heideggerian trope of choosing ones destiny when the coordinates of ones destiny are determined in the past...or something like that. He ultimately comes to the conclusion that Capitalism shares the same fate and finitude as human beings . Would love to get a discussion going around these ideas.
