Hi everyone. Thus is a a short delve into my uneducated opinion on existentialism. I wanted to get some feedback on the flaws in my argument so far so that I can look for a deeper meaning so heres what I'm up to.

Short recap: existentialism is essentially the search for reason in the universe. This usually leads to the conflict of human desire for reason against the universe's chaotic nature. I would however reason that there was no human need for reason in the first place, and rather that the search for reason is societal. This is all of course a search to come up with a reason not to do things that religions or social codes would consider immoral (suicide, disobeying social standards, being a bystander or causing crimes).

I instead offer the idea that humans are also a part of nature, simply being coincidences of probability. However, humans do have their base instincts which manifest in dopamine, and other chemicals. That brings us to the idea that the search for self actualization is the search for the most positive chemicals, including curiosity.

Alternatively a more Buddhist approach would not be dissimilar, as it too searches for the most positive chemicals via rather than sating the hunger as I propose, starving it out.

Please let me know if the philosophy that I suggested already exists. I would love to learn more about it. Thanks for reading!
