Good catch.
Here, of course, you have no idea what particular options are available to me.
I don’t need to know. There are positive points to it no matter what your current status or options.
I’m not arguing there are not positive points to it. I am pointing out that from my frame of mind it does little or nothing to yank me up out of the hole I’m in. Given the manner in which I construe the meaning of dasein above…given the manner in which I construe human behaviors that come into conflict in the is/ought world.
Someone could utilize it while ensconced in that dreaded nightmare perceived by some to be either Communism or capitalism. But that doesn’t appear to resolve the conflicting goods here. Other than as a manifestion of daseins interacting out in a particular world while experiencing it in a particular way. In other words, being predisposed existentially to go down particular political paths.
Of course we all know the manner in which you resolve it, don’t we?
As a “general description” that can be a comforting option indeed. Until you start in on who there actually is to love under what set of circumstances given the options that are realistically available to you.
Unless you’re a hermit, there is someone to love.
How then are our own individual renditions of love not also embedded in dasein? We all come into this world hard-wired biologically to both receive and to give love. But look at the countless historical, cultural and experiential embodiments of it. Not unlike hate for that matter.
If not everyone loves to hate Communists as you do, sure, they can find others to love to hate. But how is that in turn not embedded in dasein? Is there a philosophical assessment that captures who or what we ought to love [or hate] essentially, objectively, universally?
Indeed, ought we to love or to hate Donald Trump?
How on earth would that not be the embodiment of dasein?
Shall we cue the liberals and the conservatives? In order to settle it once and for all?
