For the record, I amn't - in any way - suggesting that this idea is related to existentialism. I just like the picture.

Think what you like about him philosophically, but the man contributed a hell of a lot to a range of fields. Physics, psychology (even if it wasn't necessarily a field in its own right at the time) and mathematics - to name just a few.

Ha, I met Sasha Grey at bar in LA once. I berated her for having elementary-level philosophical leanings, and for being a pretentious cunt. She got mad and offered to suck my dick. I declined.

You could have fucked her, written "/LIT/" on her ass with your cum, and took pictures for us.
