We finally conclude section 76 with a short section about newspaper science (the humanities) and machine science (the natural sciences). Heidegger states that “newspaper and machine are meant here…as the impelling modes of that final objectification…which sucks all the substantiveness out of beings, leaving them mere occasions for lived experience.” After parsing this all out, we discuss how the “animation” of objects via this process of historiology leads to anxiety, and an alternative perspective could be found in relating to being through its modalities of necessity, possibility, and contingence.
