Behindism

First a simple example: I (Peter Fuchs) am not a computer-averse person, I work on my computer from morning till night, mainly on texts. I read, write, correct, insert images, research on the Internet ... Business as usual: I see texts, I see pictures, correction marks, nothing else, combined with a few facilities that go beyond the possibilities of my former typewriters. I don't see: digital, no digitality, nothing like that. Everything makes sense in my world, as it always does. When I look from the screen to the books on my left and right, nothing changes at all.

You could say: I work in a world of results that has a quality of being for me. The technical background to the operations of reading, writing, researching ... ... is a diffuse background that can be compared well with mental systems that can never maintain direct contact with the neuronal systems that make them possible. You can see, but you cannot see how seeing is done.

In any case, the impression can be gained that a meaning behind the meaning is being sought with regard to digitality, a meaning for 'back-worlders' (‚Hinterweltler‘).

Cf. in any case Nietzsche, F., Also sprach Zarathustra: Die Reden Zarathustras: Von den Hinterweltlern, Werke in drei Bänden, Bd.2, München 1955, S.297f.
