Maybe this is really unfair because I'm only in the first few pages, but I just got into Heidegger and the main thing that emanates off of the text is that he must have been insufferable. Like, you sound really annoying no shade.

I read "The Question Concerning Technology and Other Essays". A lot of important insights in the essays "The Age of World Picture" and "Science and Reflection" which I enjoyed and still found very relevant, but it often feels like his circular and overtly stiff relation with language works as an obstacle regarding to what he actually wants to say. If you keep going in circles and circles at a certain point it just feels like you cannot say what you actually want to say. You're trying to work with metaphysics, we get it, but its getting muddy, its getting blurry, we are straying away from clarity diva, let's get back. Also I noticed I could not put aside who he was a person as I was reading, it was always present in the back of my mind. That being said these two essays were quite good and I'm glad I read them. He still sounds annoying though, I stand by that.
