“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

...and “the Time Index.” Having just re-read Heidegger on clocks, it's possible to see Colbert confronting the reactionaries with a little bit of Da-sein.

Hey, can you please say a little bit about the date of the episode or the title of the clip? Unfortunately, I think you can only view the link if you're in the United States. In Canada I can find the video on the Canadian site if I navigate it myself -- but I'll need some information to do that!
