Ontology = Mathematics??? Badiou’s Militant Ontology and Black NihilismWhat is technical philosophy against or outside of Heidegger? What is ontology outside of Heidegger's poetic framework? Badiou bases his metaontology on the decision that mathematics, specifically Cantor's set theory provides a basis for a fundamental ontology of the pure multiplicity as the way to understand being.

Fetishization of the AI Oracle The evangelists of AI would have us believe that AI will ultimately make work irrelevant and be the final triumph of capital over labor. My argument is that artificial intelligence has taken on the nature of a fetish object, and there is a need to defetishize the labor underpinning these systems.
