What are the criteria for "successful?" I do not believe that existentialism flatters us or makes us th center of the universe. It simply says that we exist in a vast universe which we do not control.. Ergo, the quote is inaccurate.

I am happy to be a humanist. "Humans first before everything else, especially imaginary things." But yet have spent my whole life, opposed to a human centric view of the universe, and the idea of human exceptionalism. Is that too complex to carry off ?

I am deeply distrustful of that feel-good BS
