I do nott reject in toto what is termed existentialism. Some interesting thinkers have commented on existentialist themes with which I agree.

I do reject Sartre as being a serious thinker. He was IMO a weak-minded populist who extended his Warholian 15 minutes of fame for a couple of decades when crazy shit like Alan Ginsberg, rolfing, EST, and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi were taken seriously. A period of especially slack-minded mass culture unlike today's more mature culture of the Kardashians, hip hop, and Family Guy.

He was also concerned about the morality of man in addition to Existentialism. He certainly was a complex figure in the world of Philosophy.
