I am not so sure Heidegger would have liked humus as much - he was German national socialist so he did not like many things, particularly France and Jews. He was not a nice man - I think his parents probably didn't hug him much as a child. Paul Celan, the German Jewish poet even wrote a poem which was in many ways about Heidegger - Todt is ein meister von Deutschland - death is a master from Germany. The thing that Heidegger had going for him was that he liked technology and saw technology as one of the saving forces of the modern age. He is in many ways correct - it was after all the German electrician Emmanuel Tunze who is credited with inventing the first power heads, protein skimmers, and other aquarium products that help keep humus happy. I would not go so far as to say that technology is salvation, which is a major idea from Heidegger, but for a humu, it is a darn nice thing to have. Heidegger thought that art was grounded in it's age, it was like a revealing of the times and even being, so in theory humu art would just be awesome. I own some humu art, and I will definitely say it is cool - it definitely is another way of looking at humus, so it does give some access their being I think.
