Heidegger's hand is tied to the terrestrial order. Thus, it does not grasp the human future. Human beings have long since stopped dwelling between 'earth' and 'sky'. On the way towards the un-thinged [Unbedingtheit], they will also leave the 'mortals' and the 'divinities' behind. The last things (τὰ ἔσχατα) will also have to be eliminated. Human beings soar up towards the un-thinged, the unconditioned. We are headed towards a trans-human and post-human age in which human life will be a pure exchange of information. Human beings shed their being be-thinged, their facticity, even though this is precisely what makes them what they are. 'Human' is derived from humus, that is, soil. Digitalization is a resolute step along the way towards the abolition Of the humanum. The future Of humans seems mapped out: humans will abolish themselves in order to posit themselves as the absolute .Byung-Chul Han, "Heidegger's Hand"
Losing Ipseity in the Second-Order Observation Perspective of Profilicity.
from Google AI:
Ipseity is the quintessential element of identity, derived from the Latin word ipse (meaning "self"). It refers to selfhood, individuality, or the unique quality and nature of being yourself.
Where You'll Encounter the Word
- Philosophy: Used in phenomenology and existentialism to describe the first-person perspective, "mineness," or the foundation of human consciousness.
- Psychology: "Ipseity disturbance" (or self-disorder) is a term used to describe a foundational rupture in an individual's sense of existing as a distinct subject.
- Theology: Often contrasted with aseity (existing entirely of and from oneself)
From Ipso Facto to Facto Ipso
from Google AI:
Flipping the phrase implies a fundamental misunderstanding of cause and effect. Instead of "A automatically causes B" (logical necessity), facto ipso results in a nonsensical statement where the conclusion mistakenly precedes the premise, or no logical relationship exists at all.
