Fundy Post observes.
It was interesting to observe that Heidegger was very much present in both Sloterdijk and Latour’s talk during their recent joint appearance at Harvard. For Sloterdijk, it was a matter of building on Heidegger positively, by “explicitating” Heidegger’s notion of being-in. As Latour quipped, for Sloterdijk “Dasein is design,” and explicitation means rendering the material aspects of being human visible.
 
Comments:
"Thus Sloterdijk shows that being-in for humans means living in bubbles, in a world that looks like foam — marvellously refreshing metaphors for facilitating a new way of imagining sociality."

The best I can do with that is interpret it as "to be worlded" can be compared to bubbles and/or foam. I suppose that goes along with "rendering the material aspects of being human visible."

Yet "world" is as much invisible (in the sense of having its own meaning) as visible, it seems to me. Since so much of the article reduces females to their biology, I guess I should not be surprised that MH gets reduced as well.
