I was merely thinking God's thoughts after Him... Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God, in regard to the book of Nature, it befits us to be thoughtful—not of the glory of our minds, but rather, above all else, of the glory of God.
Johannes Kepler [1571–1630] | Letter to J.G.H von Hohenburg (1598)

CYBERNETICS AND PURPOSE - A CRITIQUE BY HANS JONAS
i've had a lot of free time on my hands while searching for a job (which is hellish, by the way), so i decided to use this time to make things that i think are cool.
this essay, "cybernetics and purpose," encapsulates a lot of what the philosopher hans jonas was trying to elucidate upon the reader- this idea that nature cannot be confounded with techne in any sense of the word. i'm drawn to this essay in particular because it feels so apt for our time, given we're building machines designed to imitate humanity. in this way he's absolutely right in his analysis. no matter how large of a machine anyone can build it does not have the faculties of self-preservation, metabolization, and emotiveness present in humans- or any other thing from nature, for that matter.
there are a few more of these excerpts i'd like to get around to doing; k-punk, deleuze, lucretius, husserl, DFW, (my king) carlo michelstaedter come to mind. but this is what i've been doing for the past three days.

“Animals and the way of tracing their tracks, thereby engaging with the consummation of their ‘life,’ belong in φύσις, which one renders inadequately as ‘nature.’ The word φύσις means: emerging from out of itself into the open, into the free emerged standing-there of appearance, and giving itself within appearance to the free, and thereby still following a rule. Accordingly, ‘to unfold’ is the essence of play. Play belongs to φύσις. The nymphs, who play the game of ‘nature,’ are the playmates of Artemis. The sign of ‘playing strings,’ and perhaps of play generally, is the lyre. It appears in the shape of a bow. For the Greeks, who experienced ‘appearance’ as being, the lyre ‘is’ therefore the bow. The bow sends forth the death-bringing arrows. The Huntress, who tracks the living so that it may find death, bears the signs of play and death—lyre and bow. Her other sign, ‘the torch,’ is, as the fallen and extinguished torch, the sign of death. The Light-Bringer is the Death-Bringer. Life and death, like light and night, correspond to one another, in that they at the same time ‘contradict’ one another. Artemis the elevated one, through her appearing, lets this ‘contra-diction’ peer into beings as a whole. She is the appearance of the oppositional, and nowhere and never is she disposed to balance the oppositional, or give up the oppositional entirely in favor of one side. The Light-Bringer is, as the Death-Bringer, the appearance of the oppositional. She is this because she originally lets the unfamiliarity of strife peer into the familiar. Artemis is a bringer of the essential strife, έρις. This strife is not only unresolved; rather it belongs to the essence of strife to strive-against each resolution and every attempt at such.”
