What did he mean by this?

His meaning is obvious. More defeatist, whiny garbage. It's the dream pseuds are made of, and there has never been a bigger (WOOOOOOP) pseud than Sartre.

You are no longer doing it for yourself.

Isn't authenticity (eg, establishing genuine connection with other people, self knowledge) and end in itself?

where tf u lookin goofy

He's calling David Foster Wallace a phoney

This. It becomes l'esprit/spook

He is being cute and trying to say that if you think you are seeking authenticity as some kind of perfect ideal and not as a self interested quest for something that will ultimately just benefit you, then you are not authentic. Ultimately, even your most damn fool idealist crusades that you think are pure dispassionate and benevolent endeavors are really just for yourself and your own gain if you admit it or not. Its a Field Marshal Obvious statement of the most annoying kind because it takes common sense and dresses it up as hidden wisdom.

Sartre's career in one sentence

just look at his fucking face. hes laughing at you.

And he doesn't even look you in the eye while doing it.

if you breathe for breathings sake you are no longer breathing

Authenticity is a meaningless concept, It is impossible not to live authentically.

Prove me wrong.

he means the Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao

>what are Transgender people

it's a kantian aesthetic judgment turned into an ethic. purposiveness without purpose is kant description of the beautiful: the object seems meant for something but we don't know concretely what—we are thus able to believe it was designed by an understanding like our own, as he says in the introduction to third critique, i think section 7 but it's been awhile. with sartre you get the same structure applied to actions. an action must be authentic without authenticity being its purpose, because then the parity of the action to itself has been substituted by some other end, which structure is antithetical to authenticity.

>what are Transgender people
what ARE transgender people anyway?

to live, maybe, but to act in the world?

>Although the trials of former Soviet leaders were widely publicized, the hundreds of thousands of other arrests and executions were not. These became known in the West only as a few former gulag inmates reached the West with their stories.[71] Not only did foreign correspondents from the West fail to report on the purges, but in many Western nations (especially France), attempts were made to silence or discredit these witnesses; according to Robert Conquest, Jean-Paul Sartre took the position that evidence of the camps should be ignored so the French proletariat would not be discouraged.[72]
What did he mean by this?

he also believed that all french people were collectively responsible for the algerian war of independence

No. Establishing genuine connection with other people and self knowledge are an end in themselves. Authenticity is just a word.

What would Sartre say about trannies? On the one hand he was a proto-SJW but on the other hand they are probably the biggest example of trying to be a play a good waiter instead of being one

They aren't people, that's for sure.
