Hyped up Hyperobject

More from the IPS OOO suobstance:

See Coffield's interview of Morton. On the hyperobject global warming:

"Global warming is the mother of the tornado. It's a necessary condition for the tornado. Something you can't feel becomes more substantial than a tornado tearing through your neighborhood!"

All the more so for differance. On the mesh:

 "Meshes contain gaps, as well as connections: They are full of holes and not-holes. Meshes are, thus, inconsistent, paradoxical objects made of presence and absence." Differance again.

On aesthetics and mesh:

"The aesthetic dimension is the causal dimension, which in turn means that it is also the mesh, the vast nonlocal web that floats 'in front of' objects (ontologically, not physically 'in front of)."

I discussed this 'in front of' previously. Combine that with the following on expanding the definition of hyperobjects to war or class when he said:

"I don't very much wish to police how we think about hyperobjects."

So why not expand it to the known physical universe? Like I've said, we can do so without arriving at the universe of all universes. Yes, we walk a fine metaphysical line by doing so, but that's no reason not to go hyper on hyperobjects.
