Please tell me you're being sarcastic or that you haven't read Being and Time
Neither have I read the whole book but I studied him in a couple of my class (and I will take his class taught by Dreyfus this coming fall) Nevertheless, stereotyping one's character or identification is a form of ignorance/irrationality and is not even a good way to engage in philosophy (that is if you're engaged in philosophy at all)
