1. Chance-seeking as a way of making
sense in the time of
technological entanglement

3. Transposition of
meaning
As we take the pen or pencil in our
hand, you can only sense the pen
or the pencil in between our
fingers.
But, as soon as we start using it,
something mysterious happens.
The main effect of such
transposition is the creation of a
new way of doing something in the
world

A bike light is what I need (means)
A bike light is designed to serve the purpose

36. Ends are not given, but they become
conceivable in relation to the means that we
come across in due course
We like getting surprised
We don’t plan, we tinker with whatever
comes in handy in the form of chance
events
What we do is inseparable from us, our
being-in-the-world
It’s an exploratory, individuating, and
path-creating process
