There are limits to what a TV documentary can do but Project Cybersyn potentially deserved a mention here given that this episode is about the connection between Cybernetics and Ideology.

hi jamie,
this is a question relating to the picture “multiconti”. i couldn’t find your contact. i hope this message will find you OK. i’m an artist and interested in anthropology. i came across your blog thru the quote by michael taussig and saw the intriguing picture, “multiconti”. do you mind sharing the contexts of that picture?
many thanks, jin

hey afshin – part 7 of critchley’s stuff says “Schuld” (guilt) is the “pre-moral source for morality.” i’m not sure (heh heh) about doubt…

Did Critchley’s articles explicitly say that conscience calls us to “guilt?” I thought it was to call us to doubt, not to say there is no guilt, but it is doubt that carries us back to Dasein otherwise we would be stuck with the knowledge of guilt. Interesting post nonetheless, thanks!

thanks B – corrected attributions. this blog is really just notes-to-self… but you’re welcome to link if that doesn’t seem like a bad thing.

i’ve marked up a copy of the book which i think grabs a lot of the spelling mistakes and such – so i can send you those notes at some point if you’d like. happy to help as time allows…

speaking of which – are you in Korea?

sure anytime.

btw the Toaster Project was by Thomas Thwaites (only the image credit to D. Alexander should be preserved).

also, I think” the machine is indifferent to the task it is made to do”, is a bit unfortunately expressed… the machine is indifferent to what it is made to do, it implements the Sorge in its genesis unselectively to whatever it is applied.

As I am currently preparing the 2nd edition of this book, I would be very grateful to confer with you briefly about your critical experience of reading it.

Finally, do you mind if I link to this page in order to give people a compressed overview of some of the issues in the book?
