  Speaking as an academic with some knowledge of Heidegger, you do a WONDERFUL job of breaking down the basic concepts.

  As someone who has no idea WHEN I subscribed to you, my subscriptions recommended the channel again and I really enjoyed the talk. &nbsp;Thanks

  I think the penny dropped for me at the 25.08. mark onwards when you said that with an inanimate object it is about being IN the world, spatially, but with Dasein it is about BEING in the world, the modes of being in the world. You explained subtle but crucial difference very well.

  Excellent video! This is a much smoother explanation than I expected to find when I plugged &quot;dasein&quot; into the yt search bar. Really clicked, thank you!

  I think the best way to explain this is to go through Husserl first. Once you realize that this is phenomenological description without the bracketing, it is pretty clear

  Really interesting video. I&apos;ve never read Heidegger but here is my take on what you were trying to explain: Potential and faith (unlimited expectations) are uniquely human and that concept of faith, uniquely human, manifests the potential.

  Loved this, thank you. I appreciate your effort and courage to try out different approaches to videos, become more vulnerable and open up, while also sharing your expertise. I watched to the end. You might be surprised how many can watch a long video. Especially with good headphones and increasing playback rate its possible to watch a long video and not lose attention.

  I just can&apos;t imagine those who experienced the horrors of the 2 world wars think in such a way.

  It&apos;s interesting that you mention that your dissertation included Rorty as well as Heidegger. I have found comparing and contrasting the two interesting- and puzzling. Rorty listed Heidegger as one of the biggest influences on his thought (along with Dewey and Wittgenstein). And yet he says that we find our meanings of being in the world through imaginatively <b>creating</b> our reality and meanings (a la Proust or Nietzsche), not through looking deep and hard at something deeper to find them as an act of discovery. He didn&apos;t think there was any pre-existing thing there to find. If we want it, we have to make it ourselves. He said that we should have the mindset of artists or engineers, engaged in imagination and creation, rather than discoverers and scientists looking hard to find something already pre-existing out there. &nbsp;I wonder what he would have thought of Heidegger&apos;s seeming insistence that we could find such meaning through looking hard for the &quot;ground of being&quot; somewhere deep- as if it has an existence already and we are just not looking hard enough to see it, or that it is concealed and only exposes itself fleetingly to us through flashes of &quot;Aletheia&quot;. In this view, Heidegger&apos;s talk of Being may just be chasing after a rainbow or mirage.
