Only European thought measures up to this. Only Europeans can think – really think – the coming technocracy. Down to its depths. To its roots. Grasping – really grasping – the essence of technocracy: only your Heidegger, your Benjamin, is capable of that. Only your Rosenzweig. Only your Gershom Scholem. Your Adorno. Your Arendt. Your Illich, maybe. Agamben – don’t forget him. Agamben’s the daddy.
The real thinkers. We’re not thinking of court jesters, like Zizek. Players to the crowd. Hot takers. Poseurs. Controversialists.
We’re not thinking of the old bores, like Habermas. Of all those fucking psychoanalysts.
