His priorities are not the same as yours, oui mon ami? Truth has ... well ...

I’ll define “reality” as the state of being real — T Clark

What else could it be, oui mon ami?

Most interesting. — Ms. Marple

I hope I'm wrong!

here is a lively expectation that this thread will end in about 2-3 days — unenlightened

:snicker: El Rachum!

It is hard to look the other way — Seeker

You can't if you have 11 heads like Avalokietsvera. :snicker:

China — Seeker

A contradiction right under our noses! A valiant attempt still. Hats off to the ones who look for the statue of Liberty in Pyongyang! :cool:

What are you on about mon ami? Pantheism is simply a ... a ... I mean an ... empty sack!

Something can be true, yet unknown, unbelieved, unevidenced — Banno

If m, n, o, then p. Is that how "it" works?

Hi there, is this the ...? Oops, sorry, wrong room! :blush:

Sorry, I just really like the word "dyspeptic." — T Clark

Me too!

Tempermantally or clinically? — 180 Proof

You mean whether (just) a quirk or an illness? Hard to say from where I'm at - torn (to pieces) & yet still ...

If quantum physics says blah blah blah then, mon ami, we havta know the meaning of the word "opposite". :cool:

@Banno

You're right on the money mon ami! If truth entails knowledge, someone is omniscient. I'm, however, not omniscient. You probably aren't either.

Who is then?

That, my friend, is the right question. — Dr. Lanning (I Robot)

Truly wonderful the mind of a child is. — Master Yoda

Well, he makes sense in many absurd ways. Take death for instance, we’re all bound to die one day so what actual difference does it make if we die 10 minutes from now or ten years from now. It makes sense that there is no difference, absurd as that may be. Or take Sisyphus for another instance, we can imagine him happy, absurd as that may be. — praxis

Ok! Life is meaningless; death too, in the end, is meaningless. The universe also is meaningless. That's absurd because ... we're meaning-seeking beings (nah!). It isn't absurd is it?

I feel I'm a nihilist, not an absurdist and that's why I'm what I am - depressed.

Existence/life is so pathetic that ...

zero is its own opposite
— Andrew M

Sorry Andrew, but "opposites" don't work that way. A thing is the same as itself, it cannot be opposite to itself. "Opposite" requires two. — Metaphysician Undercover

:cool: but ...

The OP's format is quite clever. Kudos! Sometimes we need to go back to the basics to make any headway in understanding what it's all about and the OP has done precisely that. Rather depressing in a way, but still insightful enough to get our juices flowing.

What's the opposite of 0? — Srap Tasmaner

The mathematical answer to that question is different from the philosophical one, oui mon ami?

"Philosophical pessimism?"

'To exist sucks' mostly because – even though you ought not to exist – as Cioran points out: it's always too late not to exist. So 'embrace the suck' if you have the courage and the wit to do so; otherwise, you can always 'unfuck yourself' with either a pharmaceutical or surgical lobotomy. :eyes: — 180 Proof

Absurdly, yes. — praxis

How?

My hunch is the psychiatric profession will be discredited — Mark Nyquist

Why? Oh, ok, just a hunch!

So to attempt a definition of irrationality in isolation is difficult, but as the opposite or absence or negation of rationality is easiest — introbert

As the opposite/absence/negation of rationality, ok. What is rationality then?

I find Agent Smith's post to be quite fitting, — CornwallCletus

Why, thank you CornwallCletus. I merely found the quote, as you seem to agree, apposite. There's a lot to unpack, si señor?

No just that other people exist, I talked with him. — Darkneos

How does he know other people exist?

Absurdism = Nihilism +/- ?

Good is the opposite of bad.

Hot is the opposite of cold.

Yes is the opposite of no.

Same is the opposite of opposite?

There's a story, probably apocryphal, that Frederick the Great once gathered his court scientists and philosophers together and asked them to explain why a dead fish weighs more than a live one. They went around in turn each offering a theory, and once they had all offered their explanations, he pointed out that it does not. — Srap Tasmaner

:cool:

Let's start with the basics ... what is a brain?

Yes our system of logic can't cope with contradiction... But — Benj96

Maybe in an extremely technical sense it is a difficult question, but the simple semantic meaning of irrationality conforms to that simple formula — introbert

Sorry for the double post. Irrationality, what is it?

I would not recommend eating number twos. Go for the apple or banana — I like sushi

What is this formula you're talking about?
