lol, I love how you are probably doing thhis post on your sidekick.
I see that you agree with Banach, that things must exist before its essence.
But, you say that "the thought of [the present] is causing it to exist" which I think means that the present's essence has existed before the present has existed.
I think you have some validity in your point; there are some things where you think "Oh, I need this thing and I can use this and that to synthesize it." In this case, you have created essence before existence.
I see that this post is still in progress but I hope you incorporate some of Banach's quotes.
It was a great starting post, thanks!

Takes a great deal to say that you are fake.
We live up to people's expectations and that already makes us fake. Expectations are outside influences that change who we are.
What strike me as interesting is how you connected morality to being authentic. I have never thought that having a good sense of morality would contradict being "real".
But then again, according to Banach, every individual have the freedom to choose what to believe so if you choose to follow a certain morality, then you cannot really be fake about it (in my opinion). Then yet again, society has a lot of contradictions.
The way you said your thoughts are not your ideas sounds like you do not have absolute individuality. Banach says everyone does (but hell, Banach isn't the center of everything). But I think you are pointing out another contradiction made by Banach; how can we be an absolute individual when we are also affected by external factors?
Your post was pretty well written (in my point of view); I just want to ask 'what other contradictions can you think of that this society contains' just to see what you think.
Your blog was awesome and made me think about the contradictions.
