That is your weakness here when you did not read Heidegger directly and thus is misled by the misleds [those who miread Heidegger’s philosophy].
Note

dramatherapist From what he wrote, Andrew Royle definitely has misread and misunderstood Heidegger.
The Purpose of BT is the following;
Purpose of This Book
Our aim in the following treatise is to work out The Question of the Meaning of Being and to do so concretely.
Our provisional aim is,
the interpretation of time as the possible horizon for any understanding whatsoever of being. page 1
Heidegger’s philosophy [I hv written before] is not about ‘Bob may in fact have murdered Don,’ John’s dick entering Mary’s cunt ending with a squabbling over abortion, and the diverse human activities.
Since the Concept of Being is so pervasive, Heidegger narrowed down the idea of Being to the ‘being’ of humans or a person. Heidegger deliberately labelled such a being [human related] as Dasein with intention to ensure his views are not associated with typical human [Bob, Don, John, Mary etc.] activities.
For Heidegger, the being [Dasein] of the human being is the exemplary being and a representative of being-in-general to be interrogated and as a pivot to understand being-in-general.
Heidegger stated he is using the generic concept of Dasein to drill down to understand the Question and Meaning of Being-in-General.
Since the purpose of ‘Dasein’ is supposed to be a generic concept, it cannot be transposed to the individual person[s] and their specific life problems.
Heidegger wrote:
the being of Da-sein is not to be deduced from an idea of human being. pg 182
The problem is [within some ambiguites and vagueness] there are some philosophers and specialist Heideggerian who has misunderstood Heidegger and put the ‘typical human’ spin to it. One such philosopher is the very popular Hubert Dreyfus.
Heidegger’s focus is only on generic principles that will support the understanding of The Question and Meaning of Being-In-General.
Heidegger did not get involve in how these principles are to be translated or practiced by the individual person[s] or group in detail, which is off topic to the purpose of his thesis re BT as stated above. This is the limitation on practice had drove him to be a Nazi member.
Even when Heidegger mentioned “I” or “Mineness” is it always related to the undifferentiated “I” [self] and not the isolated I, e.g. in countering Descartes’ isolated “I” [I AM] that is a soul that survives physical death and can be salvaged to heaven. Heidegger viewed such theory as a falsehood that conceal truth and authenticity.
Now, if you want to apply Heidegger’s principles to individual person[s] or group you must at least have understood the principles with BT first before you apply them from your own perspective to the specific activities of life of specific individuals.
The mess you are creating is you are trying to deal with individual human[s] or group problem without first understanding Heidegger’s principles. What is worse is you are using bastardized interpretations to justify your arguments re Bob, Don, John, Mary, Tom, Dick, Harry, etc.
What is worse and pitiful is you are creating a hole of a mental torture chamber and lock yourself therein based on false theories.
The correct solution to your predicament is to dig deep and understand the fundamental principles of Heidegger and other wise philosophers first imperatively and then only apply them from the base up. Unfortunately for you this is a mountain of a task since your are imprisoned in some kind of mental straight jacket that trapped you within the hole you have created yourself.
Example, if you want to get involve with anything to do with force, momentum, velocity in practical with a reasonable degree of precision, you must first understand Newton’s Principles thoroughly. How can you plan and execute a strategy to go into space in a rocket with half-baked understanding of Newton’s principles?
