Eventualism

Eventualism

"Eventualism" is a fictional self-help company/religion/lifestyle led by T. Azimuth Schwitters. It figures prominently in the film Schizopolis, a little known experimental comedy written, directed, and starred in by Steven Soderbergh (1996). Eventualism has been seen by several film critics and viewers as a light-hearted reference to L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology.

Beliefs

"from the film:"
* "Eventualism isn't designed to answer all questions. It's designed to question all answers."
* "It's not about healing pain. It's about the pain of healing."
* "It's the realization that something will happen, eventually."
