I particularly liked the end of the world anecdote. I came to the conclusion a few years ago that the statement 'most people would sooner die than think..." is very true and seemingly thinking that I am thinking is a form of 'double think' if I take into account my own "lizard brain".
I did a wikipedia review of the events in 1968 and then 2023. "The nobility of our craft,” he declared, “will always be rooted in two commitments, both difficult to maintain: the refusal to lie about what one knows and the resistance to oppression.” True then, true today.
"Felix has been said to represent a child's sense of wonder, creating the fantastic when it is not there, and taking it in stride when it is. His famous pace-hands behind his back, head down, deep in thought-became a trademark that has been analyzed by critics around the world."
It might be dead but it's sort of having a rejuvenation among the youngsters of today. From Nihilism to Existentialism. It's what happened in the early days and it's repeating itself now but in a sort of subtle manner and not really noticeable. Very low-key.

Hey mix Buddhism with existentialism you will get woke 😊😊
His book Irrational Man is a great read
Good reading experience for normal humans unlike most books by Sartre, Heidegger, and other existential big daddy o's
Definitely must read. The air conditioned nightmare
What a find! Thank you so much!

Last time I was this early, it was still "only two weeks to flatten muh curve"
Existentialism is dead. The new religion and ultimate cause for today's secularist is to be politically correct.

Wut?
politically correct is dead
No....if you consider, then Existentialism is the way!
Correction: the "new religion" is the same old Patriarchy, featuring knuckle draggers opposed to any display of manners or courtesy.
