maybe EM's style is more like a 'firstism' (make it sound like you're the first to make a particular point, obscuring other more or less readily available forms of critique)
EM: "Let's get the Nazis out of the way first. There's a considerable body of serious scholarship looking at the technological thought of the Nazis. They had plenty of engineers and scientists and some had rather ambitious theoretical ambitions. (Not to mention that Carl Schmidt and Heidegger, whatever their relationship to Nazism, wrote about technology)." Yes Heidegger wrote about technology. But that's one of the places where firstism just won't do - to read Heidegger and his philosophy of technology in 'solutionist' terms ends up discrediting the anti-solutionist project imo. Funny Foucault quote: 'For me, Heidegger has always been the essential philosopher. My whole philosophical development was determined by my reading of Heidegger.'
