I had a brief love affair with Heidegger a few months back, and was very inspirational to me. It was nice to have a Philosopher validate the "completeness of something" at the conceptualization of it... and that the process, while interesting, can almost be irrelevant to the validity of authenticity. Wait - no not irrelevent. Strike that. The process and the doing and the becoming, the done and the conceptualizing and the doer are all one thing. Future me exists already. Past me exists already. Current me exists already. Yet, we make choices; not fixed at all. He may have enamored the "future pulls you towards itself" a bit much but well, somebody had to get the ball rolling, and I'm glad he did. meh. - I can never say it right. Brain scans shows that our conception of self when we hold a hammer extends around the hammer. The tool becomes us. We become the tool. The separation isn't there in the brain. Cool to have Heidegger validated by scans
