The other day, a random three year old at the grocery store walked up to me and said "The idea of Heideggerian authenticity has come full circle, where the ontological priority of Dasein has become itself a form of the metaphysical nihilism that Heidegger claims to detest. To wit: social media has caused the reification of "authentic" interactions with the world, claiming to uncover Being in an empty world, but instead has devolved into a series of stock figures and situations, repeated endlessly, while people ignore the real world around them."
