@existential potential,
Quote:no reason, I just thought of it and it sounded cool.
Why do you wish to sound cool? Women can't manage cool guys so it follows that they are not attracted to them. They like high earning well brought up gumps. The quiet ones I mean who are the large majority. My Nanny warned me about the quiet ones. "It's the quiet ones you have to watch spendi ", she insisted.
Quote:there are always a number of potential paths that we can choose to go down, and this is true for any moment in our lives. my existence is capable of developing in many ways, more ways than I would care to think about in an average day.
Do you mean because you haven't the time to think about the possibilities, which is reasonable in view of how many there are, or do you mean that the most interesting ones give you the heebie-jeebies.
In fact the "dramatic act" of choosing that name is existential. You were bound to be challenged on it at some point and that could easily lead to a study of existentialism and that can be a bit of a trial for those who lack a sense of a certain type of humour.
Laughing at an inauguration ceremony of the Dean of Studies is a simple enough way to start developing one. You can work up to more advanced forms pretty quickly. We are having a ball here at the moment. Some clever dick has caught half of our MPs with their hands in the till and the indignation is hilarious. It is as if the more they impugn our MPs immorality and dishonesty the more everybody will think they are themselves pure and innocent. I don't know how some leader writers can write editorials we are seeing without falling to pieces.
Some existentialists would view getting enmeshed in the machinery of higher education to be seriously uncool. Obviously those who have become enmeshed in that noble and esteemed institution and its values will sing the virtues of doing so. As Mandy Rice-Davies nearly said--"Well- they(he) would wouldn't they (he) ? " Mandy was an existentialist. She was a potential one for the first 14 or 15 years of her life.
