I second that! Hope you had a great day Smile

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!

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"

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 Smile 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 Big Grin

"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."
