The points of entry into the present is The "Tea Party" "Movement"--the quotation marks suggest the mythic ontologizing of the flux of a problematized everyday that in this assemblage are the moments and events that draw the army of theoretical and literary discourses into the service of understanding.
The computer and the
Internet are
the most recent techniques for organizing human thought in a long
series of techniques and technologies, beginning with speech, for
communicating, storing, retrieving, organizing, and processing
information. The series includes spoken language, pictures,
tallies, clay tokens, picture writing, logographic (pictographic or
ideographic) writing, syllabaries, the alphabet, abstract numbers,
numerals, mathematical sigs (+, −, ×, =), the
concept of
zero, geometry, mathematics, logic, abstract science, maps, graphs,
charts, libraries, the printing press, encyclopedia, dictionaries,
bookkeeping techniques, the scientific method, photography, the
telegraph, the telephone, cinema, radio, audio recording, television,
video recording, optical disks, computers, control theory, cyberntics,
and the Internet.
Computing and the Internet, however, are more than just new technologies. They represent new forms of language, if we accept that language is defined as a system for both communications and informatics. Computing and the Internet, which encompasses the World Wide Web, are part of an evolutionary chain of languages, which also incudes speech, writing, mathematics, and science. p. 25

This access to data revolutionizes reading and thinking. Instead of deferring statistical, geographical, and other explorations to a later time, it is now possible to be in a state of continuous, spontaneous, interactive relation to endless databases. It is a question of not merely access to, but rather the incorporation of critical databases into one’s horizon of awareness on a permanent basis. One’s mind, through the Internet, becomes permanently, dynamically, and developmentally enmeshed in the web of text and data, image and video. Thinking itself can take on the character of a dialogue/multilogue with and within this ever-expanding database.
the now of everydayness, takes what is conventionally taken as raw
data, especially videos, together with traditional sources, and takes
each of these--even each of their moments--as the site of construction
of a theoretico-empirical fusion, transc emp. These videos
are to
be viewed as a prerequisite to continuing in this site--viewed and
remembered, revisited and reconsidered, reappropriated and
recontextualized. This is one of the major
cognitive-developmental consequences of the
internet to access and
integrate into the
thinking self a transcendentally vast array of images, data, texts,
videos that
can be integrated into one's everyday praxis--eg, certain websites on
political polling are now a part of one's ever present cognitive
resources/infrastrcutreal elements that make pisslb percetion as such

Transcendental empiricism is just this ever-present, ever-repeated entry into a problematic through deployment of the extended mind--the dynamic archive of abstraction/system/method/data/text/image/video . . . --through the portal of the moment/event{the empirical flux-Sellars, Deleuze}, whether it be the Imus rag on the Rutgers Women's Basketball Team, or the Kramer outburst, or the McCain-Palin crusade of demonization.
recontextualizing the extended mind
Where the extended mind is reappropriated and reconfigured from the standpoint of that which is unnamable, and in relation to which the trap of categorization (Platonism) awaits:
Where the Enlightenment is reconfigured in relation to the problem of its near demise (Revolutionary Road) and reborn in confrontation with its nemesis. (See Schiavo, Dover, Climate) even if all it can do is write its own epitaph (what happens if "Bolshevism" is freed of its earthly shackles?
Where, through the internet it is now possible to much more closely approximate as lived experience the ideal of quantum non-locality.
. . . to unfold any problem within the dialogical force field of the totality of disciplines + data made possible by the Internet qua extended mind. The object of cognition is constituted within the dialogic space formed by the disciplines.
(but also, re. dialogical force-field, the set of UAW interviews, conducted 1974-77 . . .
"Our "local realistic" view of the world assumes that phenomena are separated by time and space and that no influence can travel faster than the speed of light. Quantum nonlocality proves that these assumptions are incorrect, and that there is a principle of holistic interconnectedness operating at the quantum level which contradicts the localistic assumptions of classical, Newtonian physics. . . .
Quantum nonlocality does not prove that "signals" travel "faster than light." Rather, it shows that at a deep level of reality the speed of light as a limiting factor is irrelevant because phenomena are instantaneously connected regardless of distance."
