"cart pushing" by a horse in l907 Paris |
Are you someone who chronically puts the cart before the horse? If so your dasein is in trouble. You don’t need to study inertial force to realize that the frightened horse is going to push the cart into a building or worse possibly a group of bystanders who have stopped to watch. If you’re in the driver's seat you’re going over head first. So at least wear a helmet. Husserl and Heidegger both averred that objects have no agency. It’s one of the primary precepts of phenomenology. Have you said to a wagon, "33rd and Third, please?" Have you ever known a trailer that had a mind of its own and simply took off without the car it's usually attached to (speaking of co-dependent)? This is not to imply that horses possess human consciousness. For more on this subject read Thomas Nagel's "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?" Cart before horse people are the same folks who win the battle and lose the war. They don't know their ass from their elbow. They cut off their noses to spite their face. They always sound like they have a plan.They're on the same page, at the end of the day.
