fate

I was surprised to find the end of this book mentioned in a footnote about the kind of problems the global financial system runs into when everyone pursues activities that generate income without creating some form of wealth. Extraction was a concept that was compared to crime by Clive Dilnot [The New School, USA] in "The Triumph - and costs - of Greed (Part I)." Just looking at the mess that Heidegger can spin around "All of this is already hitched into the armament mechanism of the plan." (Overcoming Metaphysics XXVI, p. 103) is uncanny. It is really heading toward: "This use is employed for the utility of armaments. In that in the unconditionality of escalation and of self-guaranteeing armament runs out and in truth has aimlessness as its aim, the using is a using up."
