Same Shit, Different Day

This Thomas Freidman editorial is the #1 most popular piece at NYT.com today.

Heidegger said the same shit in 1954, Marx in 1848. Motherfuckers need to wake up. Mother Nature has been dead for the past hundred years (at least). And who cares about Mother Nature when people are suffering? It’s incredibly weird that Freidman’s editorial laments ecological disaster as though it’s a novel phenomenon whilst barely shedding a tear for the billions of global poor suffering right now at the hands of capital. Freidman and the ecologists have their heart in the right place, but generally, their sociology is incredibly weak.

The most important philosophy book of the next ten years will square Heideggerian ecology with a Marxist theory of social change.
