Jean-Paul Sartre

I thought there was just nothing but this feeling that I couldn't endure.

There's a Sartre quote where he says, I have led a toothless life.

I have never bitten into anything.

I was waiting.

I mean, how provincial can you get? How provincial can you get? I mean, God bless her.

This 17-year-old grew up on a farm in rural Ireland, and they prayed the rosary every night, and just she goes there, and the nun pours her a glass of wine, and the next day she reads Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, and her faith collapses like a house of cards.

Strange but true.

Okay.

No, you have a great bod, but that's not what we're talking about.

What I will find sexy is you quoting, you know, Jean-Paul Sartre or something.

Yeah.

Here's what I want to bookmark for next time, too.

have to hug everybody at church.

They have to do the, I mean, Sartre would just call it bad faith.

Like the waiter in the cafe, this is the Christian at the church.

And they're performing their Christianity.

Yeah.

And, you know, going back to the Sartre adage, there's no, you know, there's only one thing worse than people talking about you.

And that's not talking about you.

It's not talking about you.

That has been managing your beliefs for years without consulting you.

Sartre thought this was a cop-out.

And I definitely think he's right.

His objection, we touched it two episodes ago, is that a censor has to recognize the truth in order to know what to suppress.

This is especially highlighted in stories of time loops.

Time becomes a locked room where, if I may contradict Sartre, hell is not other people.

Hell is just you.

What is time travel for? In the Forgotten, time travel is a little bit about the Amazon rainforest and a lot about Jake.

Do you relate? 212, 433, WNYC, 433, 9692.

A few famous examples, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir lived separately throughout their relationship.

Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton raised their two children while living in two houses next door to each other in London, I read.

Also the novelist George Sand and Frederic Chopin, just to name a few.

And it works.

You will understand nothing of antisemitism, wrote Jean-Paul Sartre, if you fail to remember that the Jew, that object of so much hatred, is perfectly innocent, nay harmless.

1946, titled Antisemite and Jew.

The Jewish question is thus reduced to the question of anti-Semitism, which, thanks to the mythology of the Holocaust, is elevated to the status of metaphysical evil.
