https://youtu.be/RZqaiBLs7W4 I have a whole new respect for Youtubers who regularly produce high-quality video essays. I knew it would be a significant amount of work to produce a video essay, but I underestimated how long the whole process takes from beginning to end, from drafting an idea to uploading the finished product. I wrote out …
It might seem, at first, like the existentialists paint a pretty bleak picture of existing. You’re born into a world with no meaning or values to guide you on your way. Literally everything that you work towards in your life will fail, or at the very least crumble at the feet of history. There is …
Here are the Tinder profiles of some of the characters we meet in Part II of The Ethics of Ambiguity (minus the child, for what should be obvious reasons). The emojis didn’t work when I download the images from Canva, so just assume that they were really funny and poignant and clever please. note: the …
Let’s set the scene: It’s 2am. You’re hungry. Mom’s vegan tuna salad didn’t fill you up all that much, mostly because you scraped it into the trashcan when she wasn’t looking. You toss and turn in bed, deciding whether or not to go downstairs and find something to eat. Fuck it. You decide to go …

Do you ever feel the urge to do something, but the little guy on your shoulder tells you not to, that you can’t, because it isn’t right? Sometimes, you want to eat your spaghetti with your hands (just me? okay) or scarf your food down in an uncivilized manner, but you repress it. This repression …
Here is a podcast. It is about Nietzsche and rights. I hope you enjoy.
I decided to go for another infographic this week; I played around more with the objects feature which hopefully adds some interesting visuals. I also adjusted the text position to hopefully keep each slide from being as repetitive, though I kept it relatively consistent for readability.
This week, I tried my hand at an explainer post on Kierkegaard’s concept of faith as well as the teleological suspension of the ethical. I’m not sure how well this post does at being an explainer for social media rather than a slightly more visually appealing and accessibly worded version of an ordinary essay or …
Camus uses the concept of a stage actor to more concretely demonstrate what it means to live in a similar fashion to the ‘absurd man,’ as actors take on a multitude of characters for a mere three hours at a time, portraying an entire life in such a short time span. (1/9) This temporality makes …
