Biden Calls Trump ‘Existential Threat’ as Anti-Israel Protesters Block 5th Avenue

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Most overused word in last 12 months: “existential.”

Remember "gravitas?"

Or "unexpected?"

Or "without evidence?"

I bet almost everyone who uses existential cannot define it. It just sounds sophisticated and haughty.

I first read the word many years ago as used by Søren Kierkegaard, "a 19th-century Danish philosopher who has been labeled by many as the "Father of Existentialism." His philosophy also influenced the development of existential psychology."

I did not find what little read to be interesting.
