Step 1: Pretend to understand the basics of existentialism, but only if someone else mentions it first.
Step 2: Use buzzwords like 'Being and Time' and 'The Absurd' in everyday conversations, but only with a hint of confusion.
Step 3: Develop a strong opinion on the meaning of life, but only after reading the back of the book.
And that's it! You're now a certified Pretender to Philosophy.
