Forgive me for questioning the co-founder of the "mad noir"
school, but that sounds like solipsism to me, Charlie. I
don't know that it's compatible with existentialism -
existential choice involves other people or things which have
to be believed to exist in order to make any of our choices
meaningful. Of course, it's possible I've completely failed
to understand the whole philosophy. Highly possible.
