Ego is a rat on the sinking ship of being.

If the only tool you have is a hammer,
you tend to see every problem as a nail.

— Abraham Maslow

Social Entrapment: Abraham Maslow's conclusions on existentialism →

1. All experience is something real outside of the self 
2. That real experience is total collapse of all sources of values outside the individual 
3. Existentialists supply psychology with the underlying philosophy it currently lacks 
4. Deals with the human predicament of the gap between human aspiration and limit 
5. Study of human potentialities; increased authenticity is detachment from culture and society 
6. Philosophical anthropology defines man 
7. Self making self; NOT discovered or uncovered—created. 
8. Problem of responsibility, courage and will of personality 
9. Idiographic psychology, the study of the uniqueness of individuals 
10. Phenomenology 
11. Ultimate aloneness = increased decision, responsibility, choice, self creation, autonomy and identity 
12. Tragic sense of life 
13. Limits to verbal, analytic, conceptual, rationality 
14. Revolution 
15. Future of time: only the flexibly creative can manage future, face novelty with confidence, without fear
