ILN EP 94: Simone Weil
from I Learned Nothing Hosted by I Learned Nothing
Pat was feeling rapturous so Ben unveils the mystical philosophy of manic pixie wisdom girl Simone Weil and in so doing thoroughly bums Pat out. How, you ask? By summarizing her intense life story along with the philosophical thoughts it engendered. Simone Weil was born Jewish in Paris, France in 1909, and died Insane in London, England in 1943, aged 34 years old. In those 34 years, she wrote about ethics, God, sacrifice, and love for one's fellow (wo)man, all while trying as hard as she could to die in battle fighting Fascists. She ruled and it sucks she died so young. At least Pat liked her.
