PHILOSOPHY - Sartre

Descartes: "I think therefore I am" Sartre: "I overthink, therefore what even am I?!"

"One eye on the intrinsic meaninglessness of life, and another on the bitches."

who else just gets a sudden existentialism crisis when they focus on someone's face they have known and have been seeing for a long time and it turns out that they look nothing like you think they do.

"Hello, sir. I will be your waiter this evening." - attentive waiter "Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man." - Sartre

I remember the first time i had a moment of absurdity. I was talking to my mother and all of a sudden i saw her as if I have never seen her, as if she was a complete stranger to me. And when i told her that in that very instant she could not understand it. I hope everyone can fell such moments. It is really invigorating.

'Another being who's genitals you sometimes touch' thats just what I call all of my significant others

Bus conductor: sir please take a seat. Sartre: What do you mean by seat?

Whenever I get somewhat depressed I read Sartre or Kierkegaard. They remind me that my life is utterly meaningless and my depression implies that I should give a shit about anything.

"The admission that life doesn't have preordained logic and is not inherently meaningful can be a source of immense relief when we feel oppressed by the weight of tradition and the status quo"

I've had those moments of absurdity frequently, where I'll think about how weird a word is, for instance.

Philosophy is such an invigorating force for me. When I hear a new idea and have it instantly resonate with my own feelings and thoughts, it is a feeling like no other. This also underlines the idea that your every feeling and thought has already been experienced and widely explored by others in the past, put into words and described by philosophical writers at length. I am so fortunate to understand the implications of this... how important reading is, educating oneself, and how these things help deepen the understanding of yourself and the world. What an impact consistent study of this kind of material has over time... even if it's just 5-10 pages of a book a day, or a single video like this - the effect is cumulative. It's what Stephen Covey would call a Quadrant II activity (Not-Urgen and Important), but what most people would not even think of as important.

the satrian description of an evening meal is quality

"You don't arrest Voltaire" haha . . . rad.

You know you're onto something if the FBI maintains a file on your actions.

lowkey, sartre probably was a good philosopher because his lazy eye could look into another dimension

Sartre died and arrived in Heaven. St. Peter showed him around, showing the gardens, the animals, the people. Sartre: "It's nice, but not what I imagined." St. Peter: "What did you imagine?" Sartre: "Nothing."

Satre's philosophy is classical stoner philosophy. "Seat.... whaaat?"

So... The land of milk and honey is actually the land of animal secretions.

The interesting thing about Sartre is that the general idea of his philosophy is quite simple and easy to understand, but his delivery is incredibly confusing almost as if he’s proving the point of the absurdity of the world. He’s by far my favorite philosopher and my favorite philosophy.

"...the weight of tradition and the status quo." The descriptive term for my issue with society today that I've been searching for most of my life. This channel is like free therapy! Proud to be a "Student of Life"
