Ok here's the proof. They're in the car. Mark Wahlberg and the other guy and the French woman. Discussing things philosophic. It's apropos it be a French person because all the best psychobabble, or philoso-babble, is French, from Descartes to Sartre via Voltaire. And especially existentialist talk: Camus, Malreaux, Gide. So they're dropping French existentialist references left and right, and then pan to the book jacket of this French woman's treatise: "If not now." They can get away with this because only Jews and philosophy majors are going to get the reference. And neither group will complain — the former because it grants tacit approval to the wisdom of their fathers, and the latter because, drunk on vanity, they don't realize they're not the only ones in the audience who catch the reference. In their mind Judaism is parochial and has nothing lasting to offer the world. But here's the problem. Judaism, by way of Hellenism, and under the cover of Ecclesiastes, put on parchment one of the world's first and greatest expressions of existential truth. It's in the Jewish Canon but it's really not Hebraic thought. Can the Jews take credit for it? Well I think they have. Where do you think Dylan got Blowing in the Wind from? But here's the catch: the partial Hillel citation on the jacket cover is distinctly NOT existential. Hillel wrote "If I am not for myself" a good six hundred years after the words of the Preacher of Ecclesiastes fame were redacted, and a solid millennium after the death of the son of David to whom they are ascribed: Solomon.
