[b]Existential Comics
I wonder how many times they will manage to reboot Spiderman before we destroy the planet[/b]
Hundreds at least.
1930: comics made us dumb!
1950: TV made us dumb!
1990: the internet made us dumb!
2018: you know what, maybe we are just naturally dumb.
Well, the Kids anyway.
It’s important to read broadly to understand just how much there is to know, and it’s important to read deeply to understand just how hard it is to know even a single thing.
My guess: Going all the way back to explaining the existence of existence itself.
Existentialism is:
Sartre: freedom.
Kierkegaard: despair.
Nietzsche: will.
Dostoevsky: axing an old lady in the head for no reason.
All of the above?
[b]The seven deadly sins for an existentialist:
- Inauthenticity
- Denying your freedom
- Acting in bad faith
- Following the herd
- Believing in absolutes
- Denying responsibility
- Not setting your profile pic to a black and white photo of you gazing deeply into the horizon[/b]
Spot the outlier here?
Nihilism: nothing matters.
Existentialism: life is despair.
Absurdism: there is no meaning.
Stoicism: chill the fuck out.
