Heidegger's purpose in Being and Time is not just to think the essence of Being through the facticity of time, it is also to force a rethinking of time that is not beholden to its vulgar/technical reduction to quanta. That such a project is thinkable at all implies that technics cannot control entirely the experience of time. But criticism wedded to representation can never approach the temporal affects of media time, because such critical acts always already map the atemporal logic of representation (in this case, a symbolic logic) upon the more complicated temporalities of the act of presencing.
