Existential Optimism
from "Age of Miracles" · host Packy McCormick | Turpentine
Power is shifting from institutions to individuals. Remote work, web3, the Great Resignation. When careers, jobs, or institutions are no longer as reliable a source of meaning as they once were, how do we find our own meaning? How do we keep it all from spinning out of control? Today, we're waxing philosophical. We'll explore Existentialism, Jean-Paul Sartres, and why now might be a good time for an existential comeback. No doctrine is more optimistic, since it declares that man's destiny lies within himself.
