Heidegger and a hippo…

An entertaining look into the philosophy on the subject of death inspired by Ernest Becker’s Denial of Death (1973). A must read! Find it here.

Hell. While we’re at it let me throw in a little outtake from the book, some lines by Heidegger:

“If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and
face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety
of death and the pettiness of life-and only then
will I be free to become myself”

From a-ha.com:

(…) in connection with the farewell-tour, a-ha is giving support for new talent by granting four promising Norwegian artists/acts 1 million Norwegian Kroner each – giving away a total of € 500.000 of the band’s own money.
The winners will be presented to a larger audience during the last four stadium shows a-ha ever do in their native Norway in August and September 2010.
From a list of about 50 candidates, eight finalists were chosen by a-ha and a special jury to compete for the four awards. The bands are performing in pairs at four regional VG Lista festivals and winners will be chosen by popular vote.
