… We don't need a greater appreciation of Heidegger, we need real-world social restraints on the behaviour of the powerful.

One would lead more people to agree with the other, and make it more likely to happen. And I agree those restraints are necessary.

Wasn't Heidegger a Nazi, and his works famously avoid any mention of the Holocaust?

Hey, somebody did study history! Yet another subject that everyone asks “How will this help me in real life?” and is under attack in the U.S.

Pretty good summary about Martin Heidegger and Nazism on Wikipedia.

I’m open to anyone else who wrote about technology and the issues involved, so I can reference them instead—if you’ve got suggestions. It does suck that some important ideas came from a lousy guy.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
