Self-Assertion (1933)

“Machine? That’s the end of the line.”
“Is it?”
“Yes.”

“I wouldn’t know because uh, I don’t read. But I’ll tell you one thing’s for sure. I wouldn’t trust no words written down in some piece of paper. Especially from no Dickinson, out in the town of Machine.”

This is a technical report on the internalities for contracting a specificity, that lies either as a peripheral element in drawing its center closer. For our purposes, I will provide an exegesis of two domains where thought is to consolidate the alternative. In 1933, when Martin Heidegger assumed the Rectorate of the University of Freiburg, delivering a lecture in capitalising on the immediacies facing the German \textit{Volk}. A state of things, \textit{Staat} is the binding of the populace to the land as three primordial ways, or categories for thought. \textit{The Self-Assertion of the German University} conceives of the following:

1.\textit{(Arbeitsdienst)}, a labour service in which essential ways of being are the becoming of Dasein in endeavoring toward knowledge is the \textit{(Stande)}, or the state.

2.\textit{(Wehrdienst)}, an armed service in which the projection of a self is secured as the penetration of Dasein. \textit{Der Spiegel} ran a Wagnerian article, leaving a trail of lies and deciet where an accumulation formed the up-shot for Rainer Von Fassbinder’s cinematographic techniques in the 1970’s.

3.\textit{(Wissensdienst)}, a knowledge service in which estate is the way toward being either a statesman, architect, or the physician in the context of a severe value-labour theory.

For our purposes, a daily report examining the state of capitol and its conversion mid-way in is the object. Our Nov 17, 2025 report is toward a consolidation of two geographies prior to stringing it along and being subject to exchange value, in which way? I assure you that our way of being is subject to oddities. The are others, and there are \textit{others}.
