Tell me the answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything.

[@tom-kz9pb]

Some philosophers think that existentialism is passe, but if the heart of it is the struggle of human beings, who need meaning, to cope in world that has no intrinsic meaning, it will always be relevant, because that is most basic and enduring struggle of human existence.

[@kurtolson6065]

Well said here Tom.

[@domitron]

I am not sure why everyone has all this struggle. You live life because you were born not because there is some grand plan for you or anything else. In fact, who even cares what you think? In life you try to maximize pleasure and ultimately avoid misery, which should include not introducing new misery through twisted logic like Existentialism. When I hear stuff like this, I keep wondering if people who truly do not have much in this world and are struggling to just put food on the table, would care much about any of this. My guess is they would not, which makes dwelling on most of this an exercise born of luxury, a side effect of a civilization that is basically too easy for most of us to find meaning. As the 21st century wraps up and we finally understand what climate change and overshoot mean to each of us--which is mass death of course--I bet we won't be too worried about Existentialism, continued existence will be difficult enough.

[@tom-kz9pb]

@@domitron I think that an existentialist would be acutely aware of how many people, really most of humanity, is in exactly that kind of situation, struggling for food, struggling for survival, struggling really sometimes in a life that seems like an animal's life. But since we are not mindless animals, we have to ask ourselves at times, "Is this game of Life really worth it, or are we being masochistic slaves to our own survival instincts? " To ask that question, as the grossly abused must at times, *is* an existential crisis. So can be most relevant to those upon whom Lady Luck has not smiled. We could make a retreat into mindless animal life to escape the existential question, but who wants to be a cow or a dog, even if we could be happier by not being aware of too much?

[@tom-kz9pb]

@@domitron One other point about "pursuit of happiness" as life's supposed key goal. I think that many an existentialist would take issue with that. Jean-Paul Sartre, for example, saw Che Guevara as the most complete human being of the time. Many Cubans today still revere Guevara as a hero. But if you read Guevara's diary in Boliva, it is a portrait of a hopelessly doomed man. Struggling to kill a cow or some birds to eat, getting sick, eventually killed. But he gave up his middle class origins to fight against intolerable oppression that he had witnessed. That kind of decision, that makes us who we are, is exactly the kind thing that existentialism is about. A current day example would be whether to watch the horror show in Ukraine from a distant life of comfort, or if it is something personal to you, join an international brigade and head there, to near-certain doom. So definitely not simply valuing pleasure, first.

[@benmaghsoodi2067]

@@domitron for me it's not about a grand plan that justifies life, it's about the everyday questions. you said enjoy and not create misery. why? unless you make a decision on who you ought to be, there is no reason to not do the opposite. joy has no inherent superiority over misery. if you think it does it's because you chose to think like that. this is the struggle. what to you choose to do at every point in your life? who do you choose to be? this is pretty much the core of existentialism

I learned the discipline from a lawyer from Sweden who taught me nothingness and doing. I recommend it to any students who are struggling to learn and create new ideas and work for humankind.

[@t0xcn253]

Writing in the post-modern world (post-post?) almost demands a working knowledge of existentialist thought, but also a willingness to carry on where they left off. We as a society have come a long way, the world itself is a very different place. This isn't to suggest that nothing can be learned or discovered in these works, but to retain that sensitivity to what changes and challenges the modern world presents while at the same time giving real consideration to the mindset this philosophy attempts to cultivate and finding new ways to apply that perspective.

[@bobaldo2339]

This era, the early 60's, was my favorite. The mood of that era was still captured best by music:"cool jazz", as in Kind Of Blue, (although the resurgence of the popularity of folk music was just beginning), and by this very wordy, but introspective, brand of philosophy. For bohemians it was the end of the "beat" era, and the beginnings of what became the "hippie" era. I look back on it with nostalgia. Many of us felt that with the election of the young, hip JFK , the nation had turned a corner. Yes we were wrong. That all ended in Dallas. But just for a short while, there was the sense of a better future for everyone.

The existentialist ponders being and nothingness and experiences despair; the Buddha experiences nothingness and is thus liberated. The existentialist sees the suffering of humanity and experiences hopelessness, fear and trembling, the sickness unto death; the Buddha recognizes suffering, acknowledges hopelessness, and is thus freed. The existentialist creates meaning where there is none; the Buddha finds peace in meaninglessness itself.

It's awful that so many in the world see through the lens of so many European men who seemed mentally divorced from nature. I don't know any other group of people that think like that.

English is a European language, so of course as the world's most important language (90% of science papers are published in English), it is always going to give you a European perspective.

Being for itself Being in itself

Explaining and trying to define is a trap and only goes so far for the few, each and everyone needs to be provided with the correct tools in order to discover one's own truths, for trying to do so as a blanket resolve for everyone will fail for most.

I wish I knew how to edit youtube video's. In my opinion this need's a high pass frequency cut. There is a humming probably around 18k hrtz. Hard to define. It might not be heard by other's. I can hear electricity sometimes. It's not always a blessing
