>The Art of the Deal
Can I see some passage to how it is being existential?

>>13731202
the only "existentialist" you need to read is heidegger

Hey Zoomer newfag scum, here is an heads up:
>Existencialism won't make your existencial crisis go away, it wil make it worse
>Kierkegaard never identified himself as an existencialist, he was later on been given that label by pseuds.
>Nietzsche may be an irrationalist but he definitively isn't an exentialist, stop memeing him.
>You shouldn't make request in this board, we don't want pseuds here.
>The best way for you to put an end to your existencial crisis is to consider suicide.

>>13731601
suicide sounds fire i may just do that

>>13731601
>The best way for you to put an end to your existencial crisis is to consider suicide.
Heh...leave it to me, kid.

>>13731559
It is a satire about the vanity of dedicating your life to making money ... did you even read it?

>>13731559
When you read it, you'll understand existence in the late 20th century.

>>13731601
>Kierkegaard never identified himself as an existencialist

Well doh, the term wasn't invented yet

>no one has posted D&E’s original “babby first crisis” chart yet
i really gotta get off this site

>>13731762
That's because it was dogshit.

>>13731767
Yeah so are you but obviously you’re still posting.

>>13731775
OWNEDED XDDDDDDD

>The best way for you to put an end to your existencial crisis is to consider suicide
Midwit take. The ONLY way to put an end to your existential crisis is to die for something besides yourself. It’s not your life to take, make someone else do it.

>>13731799
yeah but that would require faith, which Gen Zyklon lacks. OP if you're reading this, check out Kiekegaard's fear and trembling

>>13731808
Political ideologies have been the new religion since the dawn of the last century. Get with the times.

>>13731799
Yeah, go full Columbine and shoot up some high school. You shouldn't be a cuck, better take some other humans with you before offing yourself and becoming an hero.

>>13731799
Far too specified anon, rather as Scruton said on Wagner, Hegel and Schopenhauer "In the willing sacrifice of self for other we glimpse the meaning of life" "life lived in the spirit of sacrifice is the redemption of itself"

>>13731799
>>13731864
So that is to say (to be clear) that sacrifice is not the only way to end an existential crisis - or to find meaning - but the willingness to the slaughter of the lamb, is where this lay.

>>13731202
Only Existencialist is Sartre.

>>13731877
He was a cuck and a communist.

>>13731884
So? That's the kind of answer you'll get from Existencialism.
