In Ep 10 of Leaping Cholla we read about the remoteness of the last god in the place of the highest decision, the possibility that there won’t be events or history in the other beginning, and the four worldviews that emerge from our understanding of transcendence – 1) as the god of christianity, 2) as…

It’s dark in the yurt, and we’re working through the basic disposition of the other beginning, realizing how to renounce the refusal of Beyng is to possess it, exploring the mixolydian connotations of Erahnung, questioning anxiety as inferential confusion, and wondering about the proclivity to call certain persons “flawed.” Available here or on Spotify or…

In Episode 8 of the Leaping Cholla Podcast we discuss the unique simplicity of the thoughtful moment, the intimations and withdrawals in which the last god comes and goes, the importance of inkling over wonder, and we finish with the reading of a list of actions that Kirk made, called “the Heideggerian solution to insomnia,”…

Episode 5 of the Leaping Cholla Podcast dives into section 5 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) by Heidegger with discussions on “presencing” as Derrida explains it in his book on Heidegger, what “originarily historical” thinking is, and how philosophy is strange because it is “the self establishing and being transformed immediately into relations…

In Episode 4 of The Leaping Cholla Podcast we read section 3 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) by Martin Heidegger, which presents his early outline of the six dynamic elements of the liberationist template at the spine of the book: the resonating, the interplay, the leap, the grounding, the future ones, and the…

In our third episode, we read Section 2 of the book and talk about the question of the truth of Beyng, the hollowness of the constancy of Being, the overpowering of humans by a semblance of the Gigantic, and then we head out into a discussion of some of the issues surrounding Heidegger’s involvement with…

We start reading the book, Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event), one sentence at a time. We wrestle with what is most question-worthy and its avoidance, the assumptions of the metaphysical transition, and the difference between Beyng and Being. We also talk about identity vs. self, the machinations of story, and the appropriative tendencies of…

In our inaugural episode, we both give some backstory on how we discovered Heidegger, discuss the experiences that led to his philosophy resonating with us, and delineate our hopes for what understanding him might mean for ourselves and others. Available here or on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
