Some more Sartre

Dear future historian,

Let’s stay a bit more on the topic of self-creation. *

I agree with Jean-Paul Sartre’s key ideas. **

In contrast of a chair, humans create their blueprints themselves. Using materials from their ancestor’s genes and legends, and each of them combines that with their own experiences, shaped by their choices, to create the prototype for the next generations. They, when their turn comes, will keep changing that ideal, to leave their legacy to their progeny. In a way there is a shape-shifting archetypal ideal, that perpetually changes, and each of us takes part in its endless creation.

Dear future historian,

 

Remember my Sartre comment last time? At uni's forum now they speak about self-creation, Sartre, the idea that a certain human nature isn't a thing.. and all that.

The conversation started by a tutor with this video:

What strikes me most in that idea is that: 'According to Sartre, every choice reveals what we think a human being should be.'

The thought of you started when I was a child. One day, when I was about 9 or something, I saw the coolest thing I had seen so far. Archaeologists discovering skeletons, just a block from our flat. Greece is full of ancient stuff if you dig (the metro in Thessaloniki is being paused by ancient discoveries about a million times by now (since the '80s!)
