Am answering my own query but this was also interesting

I find H's idea of an "equipment" helpful, not a mere thing, but something which somehow is related to other things in a totality, and it is its being-in-this-totality (being-in-the-world? Not sure) that gives it meaning: but it's also that the equipment has a certain affordance (not mere possibility, but a certain suited-ness) in relation to that totality. It is not mere "thing" (latin: ens), or substance, independently be-ing/existing being.
In speaking of this totality in which Dasein exists, and in servicing this Dasein with out designs, is H offering something normative? I mean, could we distinguish what H is proposing with democracy? Although we would attend to the way Dasein is, in designing, should that need to be distinguished from a kind of democratization of design, a kind of marketizing neoliberalism?
