Lowery takes great pains to tell us what existentialists already know. We are born We will experience pain We will die. We only have choices in how we experience pain/society. Our choices are based in Self interest. We are constantly creating ourselves with our choices. We too often look past how we make choices and overvalue the choice we make as all-important. In a godless world like Star Trek I would agree with Lowry. But all the research in the world isn’t going to convince me that intellectualism is the answer to amerikka’s racist, militaristic, consumeristic and hedonistic ways.

In a way most people have not considered. Happy reading.
