Perhaps this is a book to right in order to summarize everything.
Material (Levinas?) versus existential (Marx?) values. Owning versus doing.
What is materially progressive and what is materially conservative? What is existentially progressive and is existentially conservative? Advertising is about consumption but more and more advertising is for existential consumption rather than material. We're all starting to shun mass consumerism for being materially conservative. But capitalism is materially progressive and existentially progressive for the few. We have to be more existentially progressive and materially conservative.
The transition from everybody (right insula) to somebody (left insula). Tethered to the present rather than tethered to a past waiting for a future payout.
Work and political action. This is me, am I like you? "Existential palaces".
The rest of this blog is pretty weird. Oh well. It's all a part of me I guess.
Existentialism is the study of aloneness.
Absurdity is the fact that we are alone or not, and we have some agency in deciding this. Alienation is unwanted aloneness. Privilege(?) is unneeded aloneness.
Right: Existential, Left: Material... then the diagram makes sense...
