A few people have recently asked me for the link to my essay, "Can We Philosophize the Quantum Leap?" It lives under a new link now! ICYMI check out this piece on aufhebung in nature 💥🚀💫 @SublationMag @SublationMedia

Can We Philosophize the Quantum Leap?

Is the quantum leap an example of Aufhebung in nature?

Žižek’s right. Anxiety points to an absence — whether it is the object of desire or the holes in reality itself. Lacan draws on Heidegger, who tells us that to “really” think calls forth angst. All other emotions (fear, joy, relief, etc) point back to lack and to anxiety.
