REgon [they/them]

I always find it funny how dwarfs are a separate race in LoTR. I’d like to imagine Tolkien just got done inventing the concept of orcs, had writers block and went for a walk. The language of the elves, the incredible backstory for every single twig, the deep forests, all these things swirling in his head, feeling like he was missing… something. He couldn’t put his finger on it.
Then he saw a little person and thought “that cannot possibly be a human, and I bet he sounds scottish”.*

*I am well aware he drew on nordic mythology and english folklore when it comes to the dwarves and that he drew on jewish iconography wrt to their language and the like, this is a joke, and I prefer the joke

I wonder if there’s some language wherein he would have been perfectly coherent. Maybe a polysynthetic language would have done him well. Heidegger in Inuktitut or Kalaallisut would have done numbers

It’s kinda funny how liberals would dunk on MAGA types between 2016-2020 when they would say “but her emails” and the libs would say “she’s not president!” but somehow they’ve memoryholed that line of reasoning

Okay but that’s also just a very weird way of phrasing it.
As far as I can parse it, it’s saying that there is a german word dasein. This word describes a being that is metaphorically in a world of its’ own.
Heidegger instead uses the same word to refer to a being that cares about existing in general.

I don’t know if that’s what his phenomenology actually is, but that’s more or less what that sentence seems to want to communicate. Either that or the first bit about being in a world of your own is also something Heidegger says, which would strike me as weird. I imagine “being in a world of your own” is something akin to daydreaming mixed with a little bit of weed-brain “perception is reality, reality is perception bro” but I dunno.

It needs an editor to cut down on the commas and the usage of the words “rather” and “that is”. Reeks of college essay trying to up the word count.

Edit: Dasein is a verb meaning “to be there” but it’s probably better translated as “to be present in the moment”. Incredibly terrible explanation and trying to google it just gives you a bunch of redditors discussing Heidegger.
I have a feeling he’s much less incomprehensible if you speak his language.

Not only that, but you are making the remaining pool worse. Throwing out high-scoring women in order to make space for men with lower scores isn’t gonna lead to anything good

As opposed to Vito’ing which would mean my uncle comes and critiques your pasta sauce

No, I veto this. I use my veto. Veto. I declare a veto. This has been veto’ed.
