This paper presents a thorough and doughful examination of the philosophical and gastronomical implications of doughnuts in the context of existentialism. Drawing from key thinkers such as Søren Kierkegaard and Homer Simpson, we argue that the round shape and void center of doughnuts perfectly encapsulate the human condition - a never-ending quest for fulfillment amidst the empty void of existence. Through a combination of theoretical analysis and empirical research (i.e. taste-testing various doughnut types), we aim to shed light on the deep and profound lessons that can be learned from this beloved pastry. We conclude with a call to action for all doughnut lovers to embrace the uncertainties of life in the same way they embrace the delightful unpredictability of a jelly-filled doughnut.
