If the cogito sum is to serve as a point of departure for the existential analytic, we need not only to turn it around, but we need a new ontological and phenomenological confirmation of its content.
Is not the separation of the real act and the ideal content thoroughly illegitimate with regard to the 'actual' judging of what is judged? Is not the reality of knowing and judging sundered into two kinds of being, two 'levels' that can never be pieced together so as to get at the kind of being of knowing?. . . Making statements is a being toward the existing thing itself. . . Representations are not compared, neither among themselves nor in relation to the real thing. What is to be demonstrated is not an agreement of knowing with its object, still less something physical with something psychical, but neither is it an agreement between the 'contents of consciousness' among themselves. What is to be demonstrated is solely the being-discovered of the being itself, that being in the how of its being discovered.

This bloke seemed to be having some form of breakdown. Or he may have been drunk or hungover. Or both.
I took a photo anyway.

Existential deliberation upon the nature of modernity? Social commentary on mankinds unhealthy obsession with observing itself and delineating boundaries? Or just pretentious arty stuff? You decide!
Do you know what life is? It is something that exists right on the horizon between the glow of gladness and the sands of sorrows. It is where we all are, it is where we all exist.
An existential quandary. As a white person visiting a museum about apartheid, which entrance do I use?
Existential thinkers acknowledge suffering in the world and imagine a better way. Existential thinkers tend to value the quality of relationship, rather than status and competition. The character strength of transcending provides existential thinkers with meaning, connection and creativity.Digitalcommons@CllS

In case you forgot or didn't realize, Jack originally worked at the Ginna nuclear power plant although it's hard to imagine what he could have been doing there. It had a lasting effect on him.

This illustrates Treasure Island's general phenomenology and aesthetic pretty well. There is an existential fallenness to the island that this photograph expresses well.
The daily grind of the 9-to-5 can feel like a relentless treadmill, an unending cycle of work that leaves us yearning for the fleeting moments of freedom the weekend promises. Yet, within the walls of this routine, there lies a certain kind of freedom—a chance to redefine what it means to be an artist. The philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once said, "Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does." This existential freedom, the responsibility of choice, is ever-present, even in a cubicle. The weekdays may be filled with tasks and obligations, but the weekends offer a canvas, blank and waiting for creation.
Once, my life was driven by art and poetry, a fervent pursuit of creativity and expression. I dreamed in verse and saw the world through a writer's lens. But reality, with its unyielding demands, ushered me into the structured confines of a corporate world. The transition was unexpected, an unforeseen circumstance that now feels like a betrayal of my younger self. How did I end up here, trading words and art for spreadsheets and deadlines?
As I prepare for another weekend, I find myself embracing a stoic resilience and the pursuit of meaning that tradition speaks of. There is a nobility in this struggle, a quiet heroism in balancing work and passion. Each Friday, as the clock ticks towards freedom, I realize that every hour worked brings me closer to those precious moments of creativity and self-expression. Life may not be the artistic dream I once envisioned, but within the grind lies the opportunity to carve out moments of true, unadulterated freedom. It is within these moments that I reclaim my identity, not just as a worker, but as an artist, and a man determined to find meaning in every aspect of life.
