existentialism is causing me problems.
"In existentialism, the individual's starting point is characterized by what has been called "the existential attitude", or a sense of disorientation and confusion in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world"
Is this not everybody?
Most people are happy just to work a 9-5 with no complications and its just enough they dont hate their job . Go out everyweekend and get drunk or high and listen to pop music , Woshiping kim kardashian and the jersey shore people
so no
Do you really think that's true? I feel like there's a general malaise from the unfulfilling nature of that lifestyle...hence why people try to fill that void by buying shit. "Life will be so much better once I buy _____." The Western Way?
just look at mass media , all the reality shows , people idolizing people who have done nothing but being famous for being famous .
A person like Britney Spears is regarded as a talented artist by millions of people . Yet people are telling her what to wear , how to dress , what to say , producing and making her music for her , writing her lyrics and autotuning her singing
How does that even work ? Why is snooki and those other jersey shore people make alot of money for being idiots on TV ?
Why is hollywood remaking movie after movie , showing bad movies down out throat . Movies that cost 100s of millions to make and even though most these movies are absoulte shit , they still make 100s of millions
Why isnt all of this money being poured into healthcare or education ? why are not people who invent cures or furthers science super stars instead of idiots ?
Nobody cares , thats why .
