So I'm supposed to be doing homework rn but instead I typed out an A4 essay about how the two shows "Doctor Who" and "The Good Place" each represent alternate ideas on what you can do when you reach that depressing conclusion that the universe doesn't care.

This is based on humanistic psychology and existential philosophy. I did not read it before I printed it out. I am now making notes on it in biro, and will turn this in to my philosophy and psychology teachers probably when I start the new school I'm doing all this homework for. Just want my new teachers to understand the level of mental illness they're dealing with here.

Oh and here's the essay. Consider this a first draft:

G!rl help now I'm even more mentally ill about this

You see, gentlemen, reason, gentlemen, is an excellent thing, there is no disputing that, but reason is only reason and can only satisfy man's rational faculty, while will is a manifestation of all life, that is, of all human life including reason as well as all impulses. And although our life, in this manifestation of it, is often worthless, yet it is life nevertheless and not simply extracting square roots. ... Human nature acts as a whole, with everything that is in it, consciously or unconsciously, and, even if it goes wrong, it lives.

Some very tra-matic personal events occured #I lost my will to read or write anything for a good while. My hopes of going back to academic are pretty much dead #but I'm picking up Dostoevsky again so that's something.

Embracing the Absolute

Understanding the Unity of ExistenceIn the grand tapestry of existence, there exists a profound and often overlooked truth: all is the absolute. This statement, deceptively simple, unravels layers of deep philosophical understanding about our universe and our place within it. The concept of the absolute refers to the ultimate reality, a state of being that transcends the ordinary distinctions and…

”Esta vida tan vacía, sumida en la monotonía de la rutina, mirando alrededor llena superficialidades, y materialismos innecesarios, en los que nos envuelve la sociedad, cubriendo nuestros ojos de la realidad.”

EXISTENTIAL FREEDOM IN RESPONSIBILITY

“With no higher tribunal for evaluating reasons for acting, we are entirely responsible for what we do: we have 'no excuses behind us nor justifications before us'. Existentialists generally hold that we are not only responsible for the direction our own lives take, but also for the way the world around us appears.”

✸

“Existentialists regard facticity as only one aspect of human existence, for they hold that humans always have the ability to transcend their given situation by taking a stand on their own lives.”

✸

“Even in my habitual and seemingly ‘automatic’ actions I am actually assuming a particular identity for myself through my own free choices, and am therefore responsible for what I do.”

✸

“Nietzsche holds that reality is accessible to us only through some ‘perspective’ or other, that there is no way to get in touch with reality as it is in itself, independent of any point of view or framework of interpretation.” What is your framework/perspective? Does it serve you, or sabotage you?

✸

“Sartre takes this account of constitution to mean that, because I shape the world around me through my meaning-giving activity, I am ultimately responsible for the way the world presents itself to me in my experience. Thus if I have had some painful experiences as a child, it is up to me to decide what these mean to me. I can use them as an excuse for going through life feeling cheated, or regard them as challenges that will make me stronger. Sartre’s point is not that there are no constraints on the ways I interpret my situation, but that constraints and obstacles gain their meaning from me, and since there are indefinitely many possible meanings any situation can have, there is no way to identify any supposedly ‘hard’ facts that could be said to compel me to see things one way rather than another. But this means, according to Sartre, that in choosing my interpretation of myself, I simultaneously choose the world.” IN CHOOSING MY INTERPRETATION OF MYSELF, I CHOOSE MY WORLD. 

✸

“Both Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty work towards a notion of ‘situated freedom’ according to which choice is always embedded in and dependent upon the meaningful choices disclosed by a specific social and historical situation. Beauvoir tries to show how institutions and social practices can cut off the choices open to women and oppressed groups. Finally, Nietzsche calls attention to the way biological and historical factors operate ‘behind our backs,’ influencing our decisions without our awareness. But even when such limitations are recognized, the belief that we can rise above our situations to be ‘creators’ remains fundamental to existentialist thought.” Oppression, suppression, and trauma is real. AND you have power and agency.

[dostoevsky702]

Man is a walking paradox. He is the only creature on earth who is both a fool and a genius simultaneously. He is capable of the noblest of deeds, but as soon as you look away, he will lie, cheat, and steal to get what he wants.

All men possess elements of good and evil. There is no such thing as a man who is either 100% good or 100% bad. A good man has surely done some bad things in his life, while even very bad men occasionally do nice things, which is why people express shock & dismay when their friendly next-door neighbor is exposed as a sadistic serial killer.

Everyone is selfish. Everyone is flawed. The difference between a "good" man and a "bad" man isn't the wide chasm that one would like to believe. The difference is more like a crack in the floor where one can just as easily step on one side or the other.

For example, say you found a bag of money on the street, and you were guaranteed that nobody would ever find out if you took it home. Everybody would seriously consider taking the money whether they want to admit it or not. You would too. Don't lie!

On this page, we will explore the brutality of life and the absurdity of the human condition. We will dissect man's achievements AND his faults in all their beautiful glory. But be warned…we will pull no punches.

This will not be like other pages that selectively edit the book of life and present it as we want it to be. Oh no! Here we will present life as it truly is. Blemishes and all.

[lost-in-prose]

I don't think that I am a native of anything. Doesn't the word incenuate a sense of all knowing? Having knowledge of every side spot and major road? I haven't been anywhere in my eighteen individual sentences except to rehab. I know nothing of the world in my own backyard.

I live through artifical scenes of worlds I can't ever experience. I know more about customs from a thousand years ago and over a million miles away. I can speak of monarchs like I knew them personally but I cannot tell you had to get to my high school if road construction is blocking my way.

Have I made an alien of myself? Is this a cage of my own making? I could try to retrace my footsteps through my past to see how I came to be in this body, but I'm afraid I'll get lost. I drown in my reflection and fling at my belongings. What gives me the right to know anything at all?
