Description:


When we look back from the vantage point of the 21st century and ask ourselves what the previous century was all about, what do we see? Our first inclination is to focus on historical events: the 20th century was the age of two devastating world wars, of totalitarian regimes and terrible atrocities like the Holocaust “ śthe age of extremes,ť to use Hobsbawm™s famous phrase. But in this new book, the philosopher Peter Sloterdijk argues that we will never understand the 20th century if we focus on events and ideologies. Rather, in his view, the predominant motif of the 20th century is what Badiou called a passion for the real, which manifests itself as the will to actualize the truth directly in the here and now. Drawing on his Spheres trilogy, Sloterdijk interprets the actualization of the real in the 20th century as a passion for economic and technological śantigravitationť. The rise of consumerism and the easing of the burdens of human life by the constant deployment of new technologies have killed off the kind of radicalism that was rooted in the belief that power would rise from a material base of production. If the 20th century can still inspire us today, it is because the fundamental shift that it brought about opened the way for a critique of extremist reason, a post-Marxist theory of enrichment and a general economy of energy resources based on excess and dissipation. While developing his highly original interpretation of the 20th century, Sloterdijk also addresses a series of related topics including the meaning of the Anthropocene, the domestication of

This is not good heat tape.
Number of Items: 2
I bought this for sublimation and t-shirt making and because you get a lot for a decent price. Well, just spend the money on the good golden tape because this stuff doesn't hold up like that. I had a few cups ruined because the tape released while in the oven. Not cool at all. I don't have a LLC to buy cups in bulk, so it wasn't 1 or 2 bucks this take ruined. So be aware that this tape is poop before using.

A must have.

I recently purchased the MEBMIK 6 Rolls 20mm x 33m (108ft) Blue Heat Tape High Temperature Heat Resistant Tape for Heat Sublimation Press Vinyl, and I couldn't be more satisfied. This tape has truly exceeded my expectations. One of the standout features is that it doesn't leave any marks or residue behind, which is crucial for a clean, professional finish. It holds up well under high temperatures, making it perfect for heat sublimation and vinyl projects. The tape is durable and reliable, ensuring my projects come out looking great every time. Overall, I highly recommend this heat tape for anyone involved in heat transfer or sublimation projects. It's an excellent product that performs exactly as promised.

Works well and easy to use for sublimation
Number of Items: 6
I’ve been using this heat tape for a few different sublimation projects—mugs, shirts, and a couple of random DIY gifts. It holds up great under heat. No slipping, no weird residue left behind on my blanks, and it peels off cleanly every time. The stickiness is just right—not so strong that it’s a pain to remove, but strong enough to keep designs in place while pressing. I also like that you get several rolls in the pack, which makes it a great value for the price. It’s easy to work with and cuts cleanly, which is helpful when you’re lining up small designs. Overall, this has made my sublimation process a lot smoother.

Great for patch hat pressing, no discoloring or marking during transfer
Number of Items: 6
Bought to hold my leather patches down while pressing them to hats, and they work great. They have not left any residue or discoloring when pressing hats, even with white patches. Very happy with how these perform and would recommend to others who make patch hats.
