using the phrase ‘human being’ prejudices the inquiry into the question
of being. compare the following two questions:

[1]: is there Being or a being within a human?

[2]: is there Being or a being with a human being?

question [2] is prejudicial because the form of the question suggests
the answer. in fact, [2] bears a striking resemblance to the question
‘when did you stopped beating your wife?’ posed by a prosecutor. the
question *assumes* the defendant had been beating his wife over a period
of time. this question is highly prejudicial if asked before the
allegation of wife beating is proven.

Jud:
This is precisely the introductory presumptuous format of Being and Time
provided by the Nazi pseudo-questioner Heidegger.

The so-called Question of the nature Being is a, ‘when did you stop
beating your wife-type question posed by Heidegger. The assumption is that there is
such a *Being* of beings that a question of *Being* can be asked of/about
in the first place.

In the same way that the prosecutor brands the accused as a wife-beater by
framing his question on the assumption that the accused has been beating his
wife for some time, the little Fascist phrases his question on the
taken-for-granted, commonly acknowledged hypothesis that it is not the FACT of
*Being* that is undergoing questioning, but the nature and *meaning* of *Being.*

*But already when we ask, What is ‘Being’? we stand in an understanding of
the *is* without being able to determine conceptually what the *is* means.*
(Heidegger B&T.)
