Present were:
Søren Kierkegaard - The Danish Existentialist Extraordinaire, Friedrich Nietzsche - The Madman of the Rhine, Pascal's Evil Twin - A Skeptic with a penchant for Sarcasm, and Hecate the Uninv prophets' Guide
They met to discuss the meaninglessness of life, the absurdity of it all, and the futility of seeking meaning in a seemingly meaningless world.
Descartes, ever the pragmatist, insisted that they focus on his own existence first, before tackling the larger existential questions.
Read his famous 'I think, therefore I am' essay for more information.
Other notable attendees included The Uninvited Guest who was only there for the free cheese and crackers.
They all agreed that the meaning of life is 42, but only if you're talking about the number 42.
Read Kierkegaard's 'Søren's Søren's Sørens' essay for more on the subject.
And, of course, Nietzsche's 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' essay was a wild ride.
As for Hecate the Uninvited Guest, Read 'The Uninvited Guest's Guide to the Meaning of Life' for more on her take.
The meeting concluded with a heated debate over who ate the last of the free cheese and crackers. It was a real existential crisis.
Stay tuned for the nextประก meeting!
