existentialism

A philosophy which emphasizes the importance of choice. It suggests that we only exist (as human beings) if we make our own decisions independently of outside influence. However, while this freedom allows us complete control over our own destinies, it also suggests that we are the sole control over our destinies and are, as a result, isolated from God, society, and ourselves. This leads many to the conclusion that existentialism is depressing.

Exit-level 

Something that is the opposite of "entry-level." Seen used to describe a band or musician, relative to other bands in the same genre; to poke fun at trendy kids who constantly need to remind everyone how obscure their musical tastes are.
So, today I was totally listening to this one instrumental-avant-garde-progressive-post-metal band. You've probably never heard about them though, they are so.. exit-level.

Polish Exit

The sudden & unannounced leaving of a party, group of people, or individual without notifying anyone. There is no discernable reason, no goodbye, and no mercy.

The golden rules:

1. Be sneaky.
2. No guilty conscience.
3. Don't tell anyone.
4. Take advantage of the moment.
5. An anounced polish finish is a czech finish.
6. Don't turn around.
7. Turn off your phone.
"Wait, wasn't Drew JUST here? Where did he go?!"
"Yeah...looks like he just pulled a Polish Exit"
"That douche."

Existentialist Agnosticism 

Agnosticism, technically meaning 'the spirituality without knowledge', is a practice that puts all previous religions into question. Just as the post-modern movement desires re-evaluation of gender, sexuality, and concept, agnosticism calls into question the origins of god and the universe. While it would be completely arrogant for the human race to assume that they were the highest beings, power-wise, we have no proof that there is only one higher being. Further-more, we have no proof that they are out to do us any good, and no proof that they can or wish to communicate with us at the present moment. In essence, Agnosticism is the ultimate 'who knows, who cares', in terms of spirituality.

Now. Existentialism is, essentially, the contemplation of existence. Often the parable of Sisyphus is used as the existentialist mascot. The futile image that the parable creates is to symbolize our life...for, linking with post-modern strains of thought (which, remember, seek to re-evaluate all we have previously assumed to gain a higher truth), there is technically nothing more than this struggle. However, existentialism largely wished for us to accept this. Don't hate the struggle...it is ALL you have to depend upon. Your language, your concept of time, your concept of relationship, your concept of government, your concept of organization, your concepts of religion...all will fail you. However, the boulder will not. Accept and love the boulder.

Therefore, Existentialist Agnosticism combines these two views. We have no proof there is god. So, for your own sakes, stop worrying about him and live your life.
I am a self-proclaimed practitioner of the school of thought existentialist agnosticism preaches.

I feel that we all could learn from existentialist agnosticism.

existence 

The only possible situation.
(Inexistence doesn't exist. Therefore only existence exists. Therefore we exist)
All there is, is existence - everywhere
