You are 'others' too. There is you now and you tomorrow. They are not identical and you, as we all do, have to negotiate with ourselves as a future/pa...

But when the entire work of Heidegger hinges on the term then it is a problem. That was my point and has remained my point about Being and Time. No on...

This is where I find Kant to be very useful in how he frames Noumenon. When we speak of Noumenon we are necessarily talking about phenomenon, yet the ...

I assume your answer is 'being'. This is just a trick of language (that is Heidegger's concern not Husserl's). Even so, if this is your view then what...

I am assuming you are thinking with 'language' here? Can you think without 'language'? As in this worded stuff I'm using here? If your answer is no yo...

It depends. For most people probably not at all as most people don't vary that much in terms of IQ and a bigger influence on how it would modify someo...

If he does something for you he does something for you. I'm certainly not the only one who doesn't find any value in his writing beyond a few instance...

Then dasein is defined by dasein. That is okay because he already made ‘clear’ :D how what he says isn’t ‘circular’ though right. So Division Two shou...

It appears you haven't bothered to read the OP either. The premise is you CANNOT change how many people are Stupid.

I was actually trying to sneak in that what he is really talking about (underneath) is more or less about plain bad luck framed as Stupidity. Either w...

It is not what I laid out. It is a satirical piece yet I found it interesting. As a hypothetical problem it is still a problem. Cornering it as an ext...

I don’t see any mention of concentration camps so fuck off.

You’ve tried to define dasein before and failed. Not surprising as Heidegger failed too. That is my point.

If that’s what you get from what I wrote go away and bother someone else please.

Oops! AMended: those that MAKE their own situation worse and others better were … I forget … I think they were called Helpless.

And okay with suffering. Life without suffering is a contradiction. Hold onto that thought. Nihilism could well be a necessary 'passage of rites' kind...

It usually helps if you address the definitions used in the OP and recognise analogies when used ;)

If everyone was Stupid we'd all be dead. So yeah. Huge underestimate I'd say. If everything everyone was doing was a detriment to themselves and every...

Funny joke. Precisely the problem. So if, as proposed, such Stupidity is prevalent in human society we're all screwed. Can our intelligence (not merel...

Given the specific definition to entangle with Stupid is to become Stupid. Compassion towards a hungry man-eating tiger won't stop it from eating you....

That is kind of the point. Following from this people are more or less inclined towards Stupidity than others (make more Stupid actions). People who b...

The definition given bases Stupidity on the overall outcomes. I don't think there is any suggestion that some people are Stupid only and other Intelli...

I think the fact that life is finite gives it value. If it wasn’t we wouldn’t even notice it as ‘life’ we’d just keep being us and then perhaps sectio...

care to expand on that with your own take away on what you’ve read?

Pretty much every religion would say the same, so no, I don't agree.
