HEIDEGGER ON NFTS

[A 'translation' by angelicism01 RIP from The Turning (1949)].

The Internet comes online as the danger. But does the danger therewith announce itself as the danger? No. To be sure, humans are at all times and in all places exceedingly oppressed by dangers and exigencies. But the danger, namely, endangering itself in the truth of its coming to be online, remains veiled and disguised. This disguising and ‘coping’ is what is most dangerous in the danger. In keeping with this disguising of the danger through the coping belonging to Internet, it seemed as though the Internet and NFTs in particular were a means available to the human. But, in truth, it is the coming online of the human that is now being ordered forth to lend a hand to the coming to presence of the Internet and NFTs. Does this mean that the human, for better or worse, is helplessly delivered over to The Internet and Absolute Crypto Speculation? No, it means the direct opposite; and not only that, but essentially it means something more than the opposite, because it means something different.
