top notch journalism, I couldn't stop until I read the entire article, not skipping any paragraph.

the whole thing is just an interview/dialogue, but it's incredibly captivating

also, you could make three separate movies on existentialism just with ideas from the article.

lastly - the interviewee, he must have such strong philosophical dilemmas

It is in fact a suspiciously perfect interview with a man who specializes in giving optimized impressions.

The article reminds me a lot of a Murakami novel.
