The 4th Century quotes Heidegger on the saving god from his TV interview, and pines:

In any case, add these words to the long list of slightly disheartening utterances from great men grown old. (For even more read the late plays of Shakespeare, especially The Tempest: "We are the stuff that dreams are made of.")

Shakespeare? Thank the coming god for that. Here I was going through life thinking it was a Carly Simon song; the Human League ditty being about "things" and not "stuff"--it's all ousia to me. Which is good to know as I have tickets for a sci-fi rock musical, based on Forbidden Planet and The Tempest, later this month. Bracing myself for a dose of Carly Simon. Shields up. Deploy earplugs.  ¶ 7:45 AM
