The Anxious Outsider / April 15, 2022 by Nathan Jones “Anxiety brings Dasein face to face with its ownmost Being-thrown and reveals the uncanniness of everyday familiar Being-in-the-world.” — Martin Heidegger in Being and Time (p. 342) “What can be said to characterize the Outsider is a sense of strangeness, of unreality.” — Colin Wilson in The Outsider (p. 14)
What I was always intended to do / April 14, 2022 by Nathan Jones “Now I recognize it for what it was: the realization that I had at last settled down to the serious business of living: that after the long-drawn-out and messy years of childhood, and the teenage agonies of self-consciousness, I had at last ceased to waste my time; I was starting to do what I was always intended to do.
