I've spoken with dozen philosophy majors and literally no one understands Heidegger. Why is he so influential? What is he saying, for Gods sake.

i think he tried to cover his idealessness with convoluted language intentionally out of vanity -
many philosophers ánd sociologists fake originality like this

Sorry OP. Most people who even try to understand him are usually leftist materialists who only read him to see what their leftist idols saw in him. You need to have randomly experienced Lichtung to truly understand.

He argued reality is not composed of "things" so much as subject-dependent-contextual-possibilities. He tried to avoid the blind faith in the modern scientific world view, and he failed, unfortunately.

I should say he tried to help society avoid- he himself wasn't a fan of the scientific world view
