In discussions on the meaning of existence, it is often said that we do not know what we live for, but it’s a good idea to live well. I agree with that statement, but it also makes me mad to hear it in the context of existential inquiry. Prescriptions for living have no importance in this context. Existential inquiry ends fruitlessly at the inquiry, and should not come with adornments or consolation prizes. That is why isism.org puts all of this crap under “Everything Else.”

I want to hear more people acknowledge complete befuddlement and just stop right there instead of proceeding to wrap that statement up in a bloody BOOK.
