@User41 “the idea of existentialism ironically influenced by social ideals in the false pretense of being original and important.” That sounds profoundly deep but can you be more specific, which social ideals?
@User41 all countries or just the US?

What does that have to do with existentialism ?
The idea is fine if I understand how they relate. Are you saying that the man squattting has not created personal life purpose? Is existentialism opposed to
Religon.
I am an existential Christian.
Do you find that a paradox?

I think humanity as we know it is a wild animals brain on a pedestal in most ways.
We all think we are so moral and smart. As we type into our stupid phones and iPads. (I got mine on a good deal)
Existentialism is the idea of a completely free thinking. Which is literally impossible.
If you have a single 1st world issue. You are thinking in terms of existentialism.
Otherwise you’d be to busy worrying about how to fined a meal for tomorrow.
An existential Christian? That is a paradox to me. TBH.
But idk you 🤷🏻♂️. Or how you think. I’m not closed off to the possibility that I could be wrong.
🤔 the older I get the more I think I don’t understand anything.
But I’m not here for philosophical bullshit. 🤷🏻♂️

That is why I wanted clarity.
There are many here that have any idea what existentialism is.
Camus defines it as a person taking personal responsibility for living and their life. That is what “The Myth of Sisyphus” defines with the connection to the Greek Myth. Sartre has more of a visceral spin on Existentialism but they all pointed out to the “absurdity” of life.
Philosophy can be important if that is how you build your epistological foundation and how your hermeneutical view applies pragmatically to your life and its views.

@User41 That is a core principle in Existentialism. It isn’t free thought friend.

Again if you might have seen Hawking and his ambitions for a Priest.
He gave the “benediction” or good statement at the end of the U2 concert in Paris last year.

I’m not going to argue. What you just said is actually flawed.
It has been so since the Greeks. As far back as I know.
If you find purpose in god fine. I’m not here to shoot you down.

I didn’t see any support for your argument in opposing what I just said.
You called it flawed.after prefacing that you didn’t want to argue.
A divided mind?
