What I take from Heidegger is a question. He said philosophy forgot Being. I wonder whether history is the forgetting of the Planet.
How the word moved
I asked that in February 2026, in the Governing the Planet essays, along with whether he went far enough. A month later, in the time essays, his "standing reserve" - nature as a stockpile waiting to be used - kept showing up as the thing the planetary durée pushes against.
In my words
"Did Heidegger go far enough?"
from The Planetarity Syllabus. Governing the Planet, Part 1, 10 Feb 2026
