Cool insights here. I am wondering where career-ism fits in? I'm thinking that it's a manifestation of late stage capitalism. I'm thinking along the lines of Byung Chul Han's work in the Achievement Society. Could it be the case that career-ism is yet another manifestation of the "secular world" as you see it? I use inverted commas because I've always thought of the secular world as the world that is the antithesis of the religious one, and nothing to do with separation of church and state (it's original meaning). What drives a person to sacrifice so much for their career? Existential Angst? Death drive? It's a question that I've pindered for a while now.

Is my problem that I'm dead already or just don't know it?

Hey... I'm basically arguing that we all have to find a way to symbolise the lack that inhabits us. So the problem isn't that we're already infused with death, but that we often hide from this

@@TheOrthodoxHeretic What if it was assumed all was infused with death? Might that make death's death theoretically possible? Supposing death's ontological nature could include the seed of it's own demise?
