My regret is not reading Heidegger sooner. Thankfully, it's a regret I can unregret.

Idaytesj29:
I regret not joining the BTC and ETH revolution. That's why no one can discourage me on my pi π journey. I will see it to the very end. Even if it is 0.00000123 dollar to a pi π. A no lose.

Buddy0:
Lol

Idaytesj29:
Thanks you for finding this amusing. I have mined close to 9000

And I have not sold any

I am waiting to have a bigger available balance
And sell around 2000 tokens at probably 2 dollars per Pi.

The rest will be a retirement package by then the value may have become 10 dollars or more

Buddy0:
Big Lol to " I have not sold any"

Move on dude, pi is dead.

What's your big takeaway from Heidegger philosophy?

budaatum:
I've been thinking about your question, and I'm finding it rather difficult to give an answer, I confess.

One big takeaway would be his writing style and it's validation of mine. Heidegger gives words unique new meanings, which show an independence of thought and seeing things in new ways. He does not limit himself to how things (and existence) are accepted as being, but lays out the possibility that we can transcend how things are to how things can be, and makes one consider the role of we humans to explore those possibilities and bring about change in one's own life and in one's environment. Basically (and to explain through a Biblical lens, which I choose to do because many are familiar with it, and not because Heidegger makes any such connection), one can either be a mindless Adam, or a creation in God's Image with all associated abilities, though I confess that might be me reading my own understanding into Heidegger.

The biggest takeaway however, is whatever I thought I knew needs more exploration, and other possibilities need considering. This has made me somewhat humble (I'm generally very arrogant, so that's a small shift on my part), and its provoked me to go back to school to learn more. I'm considering anthropology.

I'm still digesting Being and Time, and my regret is that I didn't start sooner, because I'd have understood more about the world and others and moreso myself if I had.

This is not a synopsis of the book. I'm reluctant to write one because I'm aware it's a book that has quite a lot to say, and influences people in different ways and depending on the lenses (prior knowledge) one may have before reading it. This is just a quick response to your question, which is a question I will be returning to till I die.

I'm going to read this, and many other books before I can say I have a clue what the heck he was saying. And perhaps I might actually read the book, instead of listening to it, which is what I have done.

QuinQQ:
Thanks 4 your erudite response.
But don't you think it better to formulate your own unique views through direct experience of phenomena than rely on others' views? (As per the quote below)
