But there is no escape. We can ask along with Heidegger, even then and especially when we try to think against him. The opponents have to be cothinkers, otherwise they think past Heidegger's question and the experience that set his thinking in motion. The event would be the decision against the predominance of metaphysics in which beyng was only experienced as the being of entities. Thinking is first consolidated in Plato and Aristotle who proceed from the entity as such and never leave it and therefore can only think beyng as beingness.
Entities dominate everywhere in metaphysics, they are the arch that still rules today.
The decision in favour of the event would mean a certain turning away from entities. This would mean above all that the distress of Western history could not be turned away or fended off by technology but also that there would be no search to turn away and fend off distress by means of technology. Technology would even lose its dominion as that which puts everything and holds everything, humans and things, in motion. Heidegger himself is by no means certain that the event will come to pass. Even though he is prophetic, he is a prophet on recall.
