We dive into sections 47 – 49 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) and end up finishing Part 1 of the book, entitled Projection. Herein we read about decision as something other than an either/or choice, about the drive to self-preservation as a kind of decision, and of the temporal-spatial character of decision as the erupting fissure of beyng itself. We conclude by discussing the analogy of the deep state to what Heidegger means by decision, transparency as the sine qua non of democracy, and the biological imperative as a decisional counter-space to so-called “choice,” the supposed “freedom” of which can instill a false sense of control and thereby anxiety.
