Sartre and Stockhausen in TP

Here the concept of "living it" is contrasted with "experiencing it."  And
living is matched with creating.  So living/creating is somehow divorced
from experiencing. And satire is linked to experiencing, I guess
vicariously, and reacting without creating.

This is a mine field construction of illogic, and it seems a juvenile one,
a product of a thought process that matures in GR.
