I have no idea what you are talking about. Who said it was an example of
gestell? Who said one doesn't change the gestell?

My choice of "bypassing freedom" contrasted to "making a sale" was regarding
Michael E, in a kindly, vague fashion, of freedom in discussions of Gewinnst
and Gewer.  

The "FYI" is an indication that it is a publication post (Like a Friedman
column or a news story...) why read or post anything on this listserv or
anywhere if adjusting thinking isn't the pursuit?


Your views of thinking/Thinking and power are not clear to me. But I like
that bit about "more than an error-" ...mean-spirited in a sort of Perleian
way.
