yes great answer, but Hegel was right about the criminal thing. Sorry forgot
to add you to the small list that I mentioned earlier. Just hard to keep
track of everyone. Actually, if your stuck on a sand bar or something, then
technically your not drifting or a drifter. Even if you have no direction
(the existence of which is debatable anyway (direction I mean) your still
not a drifter, which is interesting if you apply it to the ’subject’ and
Dasein.
