Existentialism was the start and finish of my exploration of Philosophy

While I'm no champion of it, not 'proud' persay, I really never have been able to move beyond feeling it's the right way to live life. (Not that I do live as it recommends)

I've no faith I suppose

>> No.7011354

Existentialists believe that existing is fucking stupid. They make a big whiny shitflinging tantrum about life sucking shit while they sip their hot frappucinos at Starbucks with their french hipster friends discussing the latest episode of My Little Pony and Rick and Morty.
