Heidegger was a signed up actual Nazi for a time so those who adopt him can hardly virtue signal. Celebrations of rural rootedness have served the far-right well over the decades. Part of my purpose is to show that the left has something to offer the rural grassroots too. 2/3

I've yet to fall for bluesky in the way I did for twitter. All too safe, soft-left, and echo-chambery. Being rather more left, but advocating on behalf of a largely Tory voting rural grassroots, I still feel at home on twitter. 1/3

My role is to keep the dykes immaculate and #stormeowyn had taken a bite here and there.
Late #Heidegger looks at ways of 'being-in-the-world' that suffer not the alienations of the human/nature binary. For H, 'dwelling' on earth as a farmer embodies a grasp of nature that science has forgotten.2/?

At the end of a side road off a side road, amongst bleak moorland and pasture, a little idyll emerges, the farm of one of my clients. Her great-grandfather planted trees and had many dykes built such that here in 2025, a truly magical locale is the result. 1/?

European philosophy has led us to believe that our experience takes place in our heads, courtesy of a mind which processes sensory perceptions of the world.
Both Dewey and Heidegger see this as a philosophical decapitation having monstrous consequences for the planet.

The ancient, bearing, outlined by Ancient Greeks, understands the world as 'Physis',(foo-sis) a dynamic reality forever in flux with which we engage practically in experience. Knowledge for this bearing is more a dancing-along with Physis, in step with its processes.

In Being & Time, Heidegger describes 2 bearings we have towards the world, one modern(since Descartes) and one ancient. The modern, scientific bearing, gives us 'Nature', a realm of objective entities from which we stand apart and spectate upon. 1/2

Not only is this where I'm walling just now, it's where my main PhD case study on "local knowledge" is based. The knowledge held by those that work this expanse of land, knowledge about all manner of things, is unique to them and rich in relevance to environmental policy action 1/2

My walling attire for this latest job, high up on the Lang Whang. This old coat is my beloved line of defence against the Siberian gusts.
