Cowboy Kitchen

Sartre stated that Existentialism is Humanism and talked for a few hours on the subject. If we have some flour, salt and lard we can cook anything else that is brought into the kitchen. At the same time we can say that with near 100% certainty that if we are human and reading this, then we exist. Again, with a lesser degree of absolutism, we might say that if we exist and are reading this blog we are human. Of course existentialism is humanist and in return (again with lesser degrees of perfection) we can also state that humanism is existentialist. The hang up on the words is both human and existentialist, but not necessary.

I'm in the kitchen. The skillet is hot. I have lard, salt and flour. We exist. Bring me something and we will have a meal. If not, I'll cook what the land gives - that's what cowboy's do.
