- I had a thought on existentialism (my least favorite area of philosophy) and it was a bit puzzling ;-)

Great video, Mike. Excellent storytelling. I can’t believe in God but can believe that life is what YOU make of it.
Finding your purpose is a gift. All part of God's plan....even when we don't understand it.
A rather thought provoking ramble, Mike.
Well I better get to work on my life’s crossword puzzle. Thanks for the talk I enjoyed it very much!
J.P. and Simon...what a pair to draw to! Nausea,indeed!
I just connected ., for the first time with the new rendition of Creature Features.
I think I'm in love...Tangella can haunt my mansion anytime! LOL!
That Tangella is something special 😉😂😂
Mike, I too studied this existential nonsense in college, rejected it outright, luckily I had a very astute and brilliant philosophy professor who came to the same conclusion you did, "if life is meaningless, there is no sense in trying to find meaning in a meaningless world so why even pursue it?" Lord save us from the Camus of this world, they are not worth our time of day, keep puffin.
Good Evening 😊 Beautiful Pipe 😍 Good Tobacco 😋 I like Haunted Bookshop 😉 Thanks For The Chat and Appreciate Your Time and Content 👍🏼 Have a wonderful day & Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
Reminds me of the story of JFK's tour of Nasa. He stopped to ask an employee what job he did there. The employee, who was in fact a janitor, answered, "I'm helping to put a man on the moon."
Hey Jonathan, glad to hear that your blood pressure has gone down. We here in the Eastern US, like you folks, are having a rather warm day. It's already, at 1pm eastern, in the low 90sF with the heat index over 100F.stay cool. Enjoy your Sunday. Cheers
👍🏻👍🏻
Enjoyed watching your recommended film Reincarnation of Peter Proud. Saw it on YT with the wife last night. Interesting topic, good suspense. Thanks!
Nice chat Mike. I enjoyed a haunted bookshop bowl with the video ❤
This is a very complicated issue. It's hard to understand why people pursue the interests and goals they do. On the bright side ..... the people who went down this path in medicine has brought us great advances in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The knowledge of how the universe was formed is another good example. When it comes to thinking about our life after death ...... I try not to think about it because I don't know what is going to happen and I'm slightly scared of what some of the possibilities will be.
Why are we thinking about it? Because we are alive and have no choice but trying to make the most of it. Existentialism is a philosophical and literary current which considers that the human being forms the essence of his life through his own actions, these not being predetermined by theological, philosophical or moral doctrines. In other words, it pushes us to be proactive in the search of happiness and fulfillment. My vision is that we should all try to be the best version of ourselves, which as we all know is not so easy. Ultimately, what differentiate us is immortality. You think that there’s eternity awaiting us and as far as I know, nobody can say for sure if will be so or not. Since I do not have that certitude, I had to find a purpose in life, and I think that is what drives every existentialist.
“There is in this world, where everything wears out, where everything perishes, one thing which falls into ruin, which is destroyed, even more completely, leaving even fewer vestiges than beauty: it is sorrow. » Marcel Proust
“Desire makes everything blossom; possession makes everything wither and fade.” Proust first and foremost was advocating to be grateful for our initial circumstances in life. He wanted us not to despair at how our life is but rather, feel appreciative for what we have, of the opportunity that we should all aspire to grasp.
I get it Christian. Where I have trouble is the statement "I had to find a purpose in life..." Why? What would drive you to do that? The search for a purpose is, in and of itself, a purpose. So life can not ever be without meaning. We just need to understand the source of that purpose. And very quickly you get into an infinite loop driven by the initial teleological question because any purpose you identify will have a "why " attached to it. for the believer there is an easy answer. For the non-believer, there is always another "why". I can not conceive of a reality without purpose instilled in it from its creation. You may be right, or I may be right, but I think it is impossible for either of us to truly see the other's perspective because this is such a deep seated part of who we are. But there is something beautiful in that. And it will give us much to talk about while we fish ;-)
Bizarre english teacher.....seems redundant!😅
Mike, obviously you have way too much free time on your hands bro :)
