de Beauvoir would have explained how much more practical and amenable it is to just worry about the laundry. And that's probably good advice.

(Cold reading) Folding of the laundry occupies the surface mind and body allowing the inner mind to examine curious issues concerning modern man's search for meaning. There is no lost or not lost only perception of sub-man vs.serious man and finite vs. infinite. 'Lost' is purely a literary tool. Sub-man thinks thee is finite, serious man thinks thee is infinite. However the contrapositive is most likely the reality. The actuality is does your laundry fit in its place.

When I am folding my laundry my thoughts wander towards what I have to do next or what I shall have for lunch or dinner. Do I need to go and do some more shopping have I remembered to make the appointment with the dentist, etc, etc.

While reading through everyone's comments my smile got bigger and bigger until I burst out laughing after viewing @vjohnson51 comment at the end "This was absolutely hilariously funny".

Not enough data to really know what you were thinking. Certainly we don't read minds.

Whatever I do I always get lost inside my thoughts and my inner little world. So I can relate of having thoughts like that. I think ambiguity /contradiction is part of our lives /personalities.

When I fold laundry, all I think about is how much I hate folding laundry.

Geez Louise how much laundry do you Have??!

Poor ole Soren did have a struggle in trying to find something to live and die for. At least he stood against Hegel, which means he must have understood what the old duffer was on about! I guess his existential ambiguity was really something along the lines of 'if I find something to die for should I carry on living because that would defeat my raison d'detre and so lose integrity by living"

I dunno, just folding my washing!

Simone was hooked up with Sartre so that must have been an existential dilemma in itself. We all know she really wanted to be off with Albert Camus!

When I fold laundry my only worry is to avoid wrinkles.

Almost seems like a Schrödinger's cat....lol

I like donuts!

It's wonderful that doing your laundry inspires such profound thoughts. I must try it. Maybe it will get me over disliking to do the wash.

Never liked Kierkgaard (Night of Infinite Resolution and such - Christian existentialism). Big fan of de Beauvior, do not remember her sub-man? Could you elucidate and refresh my memory?

Ahh, let me see, thoughts, hmmm, no, I got nothing.

I don't know but thanks for reminding me to take my laundry out.

You need to smoke a bowl. Kierkegaard says it's okay.
