Deriving beings out of the nothing by dasein reminds me of the light waves being collapsed into particles through measurement.

Make anew pespective/empithy, write down old view/then destroy it with the new view, then recreate the old view?

[robertpearsall]

Anyone else brought back to the Neverending Story every time "The Nothing" was said?

Unclinghight=its like the paranormal mystery feeling, but better/its own,
Feels like what the control game looks like.

[UsedHeartuser]

If you replace "The Nothing" with "the unconscious", you pretty much get Jungian theory: The unconscious is the bases of everything, consciousness is just an outgrowth of the unconscious, and the purpose of consciousness is to confront and integrate contents of the unconscious.

"Where as we would dispell the illusion, they would use it for control."
60% right=the idea for the sentence/not in arabic.

Dread approaches! Dread recedes! It's horrible! Der Furor is my salvation. Anything to evade focusing my mind.

No, no, Martin. It's being on time.

Heidegger wrote in German language.

In German language all nouns are written with Capital letter at the beginning, including "Wesen" (= being).

So, it is meaningless to differentiate between capital B and simple b.

[soccerandtrack]

I thought about if you didnt have anything what would death be?, because its the opposite of more philosophy about it.

Heidegger is not insane, just a little too tightly wrapped...

Why is there Heidegger rather than nothing?

A vulgar variant of concept stealing, prevalent among avowed mystics and irrationalists, is a fallacy I call the Reification of the Zero. It consists of regarding “nothing” as a thing, as a special, different kind of existent. (For example, see Existentialism.) This fallacy breeds such symptoms as the notion that presence and absence, or being and non-being, are metaphysical forces of equal power, and that being is the absence of non-being
-Ayn Rand, _Intro. To Objectivist Epistemology_

The professor who taught Existentialism in my former philosophy department told me that he "wanted to kill someone, anyone."
