Jean Paul Sartre used to say: “Hell is other people”; disillusionism adds paradise as well.

WHAT IS DESILLUSIONISM?

Mookie Tenembaum is the founder of the Desillusionism think-tank, a philosophy that states:

  • Reality as we experience it is a teleological narrative, i.e. goal-directed, in which material and illusory parts are confused.
  • This narrative facilitates and allows the individual to interact out of inertia, in synchrony and in tune with “the other” and “the others”.
  • This interaction occurs, in turn, escaping from and dealing with an endless string of sufferings and trying to handle them, with the threat of our own terrifying death always on the horizon.
