    “Ontology is the study of being.” That’s not a sentence fragment, that’s the whole thing. Being what, you might ask? Just, being.

      Being and Nothingness and Being and Time are the books you want on this. That’s a 1000 pages by Sartre and Heidegger and the core documents of existentialism.

      Have I read it all? Fuck no, this shit is hard to read. I once reread a page 8 times and still didn’t get it.
