What does maths add up to but nothing.

Thanks, Admins.

Mathematics is too abstract to solve the world's complexity and all of its problems as it is with the Dialogic on these grounds. Macbeth is Shakespeare at his most nihilistic. I'd say that we're really all nihilists. In that, in the face of death, even the religious believe in nothing.

There’s not even a hint of nihilism in Macbeth, although some people think so based on the ‘sound and fury’ lines. It’s important to understand that, by this point in the play, Macbeth is almost completely deranged, a state brought about by his actions and their consequences. Since everything he does is consequential, it is the complete opposite of nihilism.

Personally, I blame his bitch of a wife.

If you want derangement, read the rest of Shakespeare. Hamlet comes to mind most prominently. In the end of that play, everybody dies.

Airplane-wing view of Pluto from the New Horizons spacecraft?  Maths.

I broke my math bone when I was in the 5th grade. We were so poor we couldn't pay attention. I never got the break fixed, thankfully.

The phrase "What the entire fuck?" implies the existence of fractional fucks.

"What the absolute fuck?" implies the existence of positive and negative fucks.

"What the actual fuck?" implies the existence of imaginary fucks.

Conclusion: Fuckery is isomorphic with the complex field.
