I second that! Hope you had a great day
You introduced me to absurdism, which I've now formally adopted. Cheers!

Happy birthday.
Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow will go on a killing spree!

Is that a "thing" Rob?
Does absurdism have 10 commandments:
Eg: Thou shalt not make any sense when you talk to people
(Are we sure this isn't just another name for Christianity?)
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Absurdism is absolutely the philosophy I adopted ever since I gave up on despair.

It sure is a thing It's a serious philosophical position.
My version of absurdism has only one commandment:
"Things are as real to any particular observer as they appear to be."
It's a conclusion I'd previously come to, but I wasn't aware it had a name. Everything else is built upon pragmatic assumptions after that.
But like, happy birthday, it's a philosophy burger for dinner

That's absurd!
PS, what's the opposite of absurd? surd?

Happy happy birthday!!!!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Unabsurd! It's an absurd position some people take.
