Superfluous is a great word because I can use it in its own definition like: "a superfluous way of saying unnecessary." And it still clearly defines the word even if you didn't know what it meant.

The living and efficaciously acting moral order is itself God. We require no other God, nor can we grasp any other.

A disillusioned individual, often born into wealth and privilege, the superfluous man regards the society around him with boredom, cynicism, and lack of interest, at the same time feeling himself to be morally and intellectually superior.

Just a few days ago I was at a dinner party and a nice lady, whom I did not know, cornered me and, for some reason unknown to myself, began telling me in superfluous detail of the manifold achievements of her son.

Ever feel just, like alone at an event with family and friends? You just...feel like you don't matter. You try, but every time you join the conversation it dies almost immediately, and then they all leave to join different conversations...that you're not a part of. And you either follow pathetically, hoping for a different outcome, or you accept it and sit by yourself, watching people you've loved and cared about your whole life carry on being only infinitely happier you're not there to big them down.

You're superfluous, in their lives and maybe the lives of every single person around you.

I'm drunk, I'm tired, and I'm superfluous. I only wish they could call this early so i didn't have to face my own ineptitude and unlikeability anymore times tonight

I don't know how strictly accurate this is, but one of the things I find shocking about watching historical dramas is how many people there are around all the time---according to Madame de... (1953) a well-off French household in the Belle Epoque maintains a workforce of at least 3, and the glittering opera has staff just to open doors. According to Shogun (2024) you can expect a deep bench just to mind your household, and again, people who exist to open doors.

Could people....not open doors in the past? Were doors tricky, before the standardization of hinges? Because otherwise, the wealthy used to pay a whole bunch of people to do it for them in multiple contexts, and I find myself baffled.

If, as suggested by other cultures (outside Christianity) and philosophical traditions (non-Christian belief systems), the universe were somehow less than an objective reality, science would be superfluous.
