H & Junger

Perhaps the archetypal cosmological trope compassing/generating
Heidegger and B&T is war?... Dasein is then "Being-in-the-world-at-war"
(where "war"is taken in the mdern , all-out, mechanized, indiscriminate,
impersonal, "storm of steel", etc. sense).

The totalizing of the biological event, death, would be the
microcosmic correlate.

The ethical modality of a cosmos of totalized war would be
ironic, a commensurately absolute nihilism.

The psychological modality would be a totalized anxiety.
Existence would be a naked solopsistic structure wholly
engrossed by "care",...other forms of being, as personal,
social, vocational, economic, etc. (ontic forms) would
appear secondary, higher level,...

The primpordial aspect of technology would appear ironic,
...its perverse modality, the sword, not the ploughshare...
mythicized/autonomized as a daimon of death...nihilism.

And, of course, fascism would be the logically inexorable
practical structure.
