You are misusing dasein as a synonym for something you already know, rather than understanding why the term dasein was coined, to refer to something else.
Joseph Polanik wrote:
which daseins are being targeted by Heidegger? well, ironically enough,
you seem to be suggesting that Heidegger would disapprove of any dasein
who spouted Heidegger’s own philosophy in the first person.
how does Heidegger’s phenomenological destruction of the ‘cogito sum’
spare the dasein who agrees with the Heidegger who wrote:
“Thinking *is* always an ‘*I* think’, *ego cogito*. therein lies: I am,
*sum*. *Cogito, sum* — this is the highest certainty … In ‘I posit’
the ‘I’ as the positer is co- and pre-posited as that which is already
present, as the being. The Being of beings is determined out of the ‘I
am’ as the certainty of the positing.”
[Heidegger, Martin. “Modern Science, Metaphysics and Mathematics” an
except from _What is Thinking_ contained in _Martin Heidegger: Basic
Writings_ by David F. Krell. 278-9 (emphasis in original)]
Page 302, to those following along in the second edition.
The Heidegger who wrote that was paraphrasing Descartes; the culmination of what went wrong with metaphysics. He is not describing dasein. Read the essay. I thought of it a few months back, when you were describing your CPIs, axioms, predicates, et al.
