Text Of Discussion
Existentialism is a Humanism - Jean-Paul Sartre

NOTE: It was a great discussion on AI, art, and technology last group! Next meetup we will dig into a speech given by the French existentialist philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre, who declared "existence proceeds essence." You do not need to read the essay on Camus' The Stranger at the end of the book, but you can if you want.
