@nils_gilman What if the Day the future lands upon 'The Whole World's Now' defines the world-historical turn or 'radical philosophical event' as you name it? Our crisis forever deferred finally irrupts as Adorno's "redemption of the future from the power of history" - the religios' Parousia.

Copy of tweet here: “The crises become “states of permanent exception and emergency,” and a permanent state of exception is, of course, no longer exceptional. Crisis is "our normal state", crisis that never resolves, “no crisis at all”. Why? Because resolving it would end the game. 4/ Our present modernity can be characterized by its endless deferral of judgment, “a secularized parody of the Church’s incessant deferral of the last judgment” (Agamben), an institution that can only preserve its own existence by endlessly postponing the judgment it announces.
