Heat, A History / On Barak
We are the meteorite. The problem is the problem is terrestrial. The problem can be sensed on our very body, and we have developed various kinds of discursive mechanisms and also various kinds of technological mechanisms, like air conditioning, to ward off these realizations, to push them away from us. And thereby to depoliticize the problem.
