Mahmoud Salem (a.k.a. Sandmonkey): USA should not support Muslim Brotherhood

An interesting piece, HERE.

Gilles Retsin lecturing on OOO and architecture in London at this very moment.

HERE. This post is too late to allow anyone to go who isn’t already there, but I just found out about it myself.

“Gilles Retsin will present an Object-Oriented project for computational design and architecture, inpsired by the work of Graham Harman, Levi Bryant and Ian Bogost.”

a new edition of Après la finitude?

That’s what Charles Gerbet was saying on the Meillassoux Facebook page about THIS ad on Amazon.fr.

Gerbet claims that there are 17 pages of new material in this edition, including responses to correlationists.

I don’t doubt Gerbet’s word. However, I see nothing on the Amazon.fr page that specifically verifies this. Moreover, the ad has a publication date of “April 27, 2012,” and if a second edition had been around for a year, I would hope that I’d have heard of it by now.

There is already some new material in the English translation that was not included in the original French version. The new material is clearly set off by asterisks from the rest of the text.

Sein und Zeit gets “4 stars” from Amazon.de.

Since Amazon Author Central began keeping track in March 2011, only one metropolitan area in the United States can claim to have purchased no copies of any of my books:

Springfield, Missouri
