know-how

know what I've decided?
I can't imagine.
I've decided that existence precedes essence. you need existence to have essence. it has to already exist.
well aren't you the brilliant one. chew on this: I think that anguish is the dread of the nothingness of human existence.
you mean the meaningless of it?
you got it. it's all absurd.
so existence is absurd.
that's it. there's no excuses, and nothing that structures our existence.
got it. there's no essence that things are drawn from.
right, because existence precedes essence.
which leaves us with. . . nothing.
exactly.
well I'm glad we got that figured out. now will you get me a cup of coffee?
you want anything in it?
nothing. nothing at all.
