Or was his theory, "just do what you want but keep in mind in reflects on everyone else"?

Physiognomy is self fulfilling. The ugly are treated worse, and because they are treated worse arbitrarily they become bitter and resentful. You people think for some reason its the other way around. Its not because they are ugly that they are bad people you fucking retards. If so please explain so.

Also I didn't notice this thread, otherwise I would have posted it here, what do you anons think of this quote

Thoughts?

Why does /lit/ never discuss Sartre?

Is hell other people? Or is hell yourself?

Nothing matters. Existence is meaningless. God is dead. Morals are dead. Culture is dead. Why should we do anything? What is there to do?

After reading lots of phenomenology and existentialism I can't get over the fact that everyone is just playing a role in life. I can't help but feel that everyone is acting like they're playing a role in their own personal sitcom. Between the pseudointellectuals, the faux-artistes, and the politicians and lawyers claiming to be "authorities", it's almost unbearable for me to entertain their delusions in day-to-day life.

Are there any books about how this "acting" and dishonesty for the sake of appearances is actually a fundamental necessity for human existence and should be embraced rather than reviled?

Is Existentialism any good? My gf keeps harping on about it so I am suspicious.

What's his best work?

Oh, wow, it's almost as if you faggots chose to visit this board in order to discuss trivial bullshit and pseudo philosophy /pol/ stuff instead of attempting to discuss actual literature.
What's next?
"Your camera is low quality". "I can see the artifacts". "Your screen is too off colour". "You should not fold important documents and carry them in a patrician's folio". "Trim your nails better".

The absolute state of /lit/.

>Sartre fit la moue
MDR
Salaud! Il n'est guère malin.
>Je suis un sale pédé
MDR
Dégueulasse! Je m'en fous de Sartre! Laissez bronzer son cadavre!

I'd love to kick Jean Paul Sartre in the head. Just take a few steps run up then catch him with the full force of my steel capped toe under his chin, send that little faggot flying through the air.

As he lies on the floor, coughing and wheezing and chocking on his own blood, his jaw a mangled mess of bones detached from the rest of his skull, I stand over him and laugh wickedly. He looks up at me in fear and pain, his eyes searching, begging me for mercy. He finds none. I raise my boot then stomp down, splitting his skull like a melon and finally ending his pathetic life.

>anti intellectual poorly cultured poltard and incel complains about the 200 occurrences of one word directly related to the subject matter among other 60,000 words

If we take it as true that one cannot have an existential crisis without first taking in some information concerning one's existence, is it also true that, given existential crises can only be a reaction to such information, interpretations of existence are the source of the problem, rather than existence itself?

>existence precedes essence

This is a cynical, slightly snide sentiment, right?
