I think Heideggers ideas of being-in-the-world has changed the way I view media, video games and technology in general.
Before I thought of them as escapism. That they arent real, and I am taking my mind somewhere else. I have been monumentally shifted, in that I now see video games, youtube videos and the internet as real. Real in the sense that they are in the material world, just like I am. When I am watching videos or playing a video game, I am not somewhere else or engaging with something fake. I am not temporarily suspended in time, until I mentally return from these fake worlds. No, I am in the world just as they are, but this technology is altering myself and my state of mind. I am sitting in the now, in the world and engaging with something as real as me, and my thinking and being is being altered by these things continously. Its not a matter of me being »in the real world, or the virtual one«, because I am always in the world just as much as these games and videos are.
While playing these games, my body is still in the world, sitting on the couch, and my movements are still happening in the world and in the now, not happening in some fake or virtual world.
I am always in the now, this now can only be changed through technology that is also in the now with me. Its not a door to a different world, its an alteration to my current one, the only one I can inhabit.

Am I understanding Heidegger somewhat correctly? Honestly this shift in perspective has caused me to rethink my engagement with media and technology, and I pondered over all of this in the shower, after I had turned my computer and TV off.

Explain his philosophy in one post

>be me
>be reading about Heidegger before bed (just an introduction thing, I haven't read him or really encountered his ideas properly before)
>think about death and be afraid
>have to watch a dumb action film on my phone to calm down and go to sleep
>next day
>be out running
>thinking about Heidegger
>think "could death be better understood as being non-time"
>almost get hit by a car as I think this
>can't stop laughing
>not from relief, but from the coincidence
>see big truck driving quickly up the road
>imagine diving under the truck and being killed
>feels good
Why was I so scared when I was safe in my bed, but so happy when near danger?
Is the concept of "being non-time" a thing in Heidegger?

is there any use for this guy?

It makes me sad that one of the most influential philosophers in history was such a shit human being bros...

How to overcome this feeling? It’s just so sad

There is quote by Martin Heidegger that I vaguely remember. It's something along the lines of "If you live each day like it is your last you will live more authentically." But that is just paraphrasing. Anyone here familiar with the quote I am looking for? Thanks.

How was this faggot not a pseud who took Rilke and morphed him into teutonically autistic compound-word verbiage.

Or even this Nazi cunt ?

“Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy.” ― Martin Heidegger

What did he mean by this?
Does this have a different meaning than literally? For example, is it related to his philosophy of being?
Or it was a straight out obscurantist phrase?
