    Tbh, Heidegger does deserve to be critiqued, but I'll watch this anyway.

      I would forgive anyone who doesn't have the patience to sit through the actual criticism of Heidegger's philosophy about how truth only exists while humanlike beings are around to perceive it. I figure that stuff would be more interesting for people attacking the schools of thought which draw inspiration from it, Hannah Arendt style anti-totalitarian weirdness (could write/vid essay a lot about it if one were motivated, as it's relevant to anyone who walks through Barned and Noble and sees Timothy Snyder or other libs), or for people involved in relevant areas of academia, not that I'd know! Already, knowing the guy hid his Nazi past and tracing his legacy to some of the most annoying writing ever, internally inconsistent lib writing about authoritarianism to smear the USSR, is enough for me. Rest is just curiosity
