Geworfenheit
Dasein finds itself already cast into a time, place and situation it did not choose, with no vantage point before or outside it.
In lecture order, as Marci Shore presents each view. The time opens that minute of the lecture on YouTube.
Dasein's condition is thrownness (Geworfenheit): it lands, with a kind of violence, in a time and place it never chose, with no before and no outside from which to consent.
Put simply Heidegger: we are "thrown" into existence. Each of us lands, with a kind of violence, in a time and place we never chose, with no earlier moment or outside spot from which we could have agreed to it.
Sartre shifts Heidegger's thrownness toward abandonment: we find ourselves dumped in a world without God, forlorn, with nothing either inside us or outside us to rely on.
Put simply Heidegger said we are "thrown" into a world we did not choose. Sartre stresses being abandoned there: no God, nobody to turn to, nothing inside or outside us to rely on.
Nobody chooses from a blank slate: a person decides what to become "on the basis of what he has been," starting inside a world and a past already given.
Put simply Beauvoir: nobody starts from a blank slate. A person decides what to become "on the basis of what he has been", inside a world and a past that are already given.
Nobody is thrown into an empty world. For Heidegger, other people belong to Dasein's situation from the outset, so existing in the world already means existing alongside others.
Put simply Heidegger: you never start out alone. From the moment you exist, other people are already part of your world.
Derrida's opening question on writing echoes Heidegger twice: needing a preliminary idea of writing before asking where it begins is the hermeneutic circle, and "always already" is Heidegger's phrase.
Put simply Shore hears Heidegger twice in Derrida. To ask where writing begins, you must already have some idea of what writing is: Heidegger's "hermeneutic circle." And "always already" is Heidegger's phrase.

Keeps thrownness but stresses abandonment: cast into the world with nothing to lean on
