How does one rid themselves of their existentialist thoughts? I know it is considered a sub par philosophy on this board, but how do I replace something that springs up so naturally in my brain?

It wouldn't however be vulgar and anti-intellectual to dismiss this guy on the basis of his flimsy philosophy.

Is this true?

do you guys ever wanna share your academic (undergrad or grad) writing that's been well received or even published? I have a few I'm kind of proud of desu

Existentialism is already dumb enough. Anyone who believes the essence of something can be its own teleological end probably likes to eat crayons.

Who are some "authors" you can't stand?
>Camus
Dislike him. Second-rate, ephemeral, puffed-up. A nonentity, means absolutely nothing to me. Awful.
>Sartre
Even more awful than Camus.

This has to be trolling. He wasn't.

When did you outgrow existentialism?

I kind of have a big 5 for this:

1. Refers to Schroedinger's Cat
2. Uses the term Kafkaesque
3. Mentions the Hegelian dialectic whenever two parties are negotiating
4. Uses the term Quixotic
5.espouses the philosophy of a French Existentialist

I don't know, but I'd sure like some advice. I'm too poor to afford a gun. Should I attack a cop? Phone a bomb threat? Swat myself? Give me advice, anons. I can't handle this anymore.
