Rick and Morty / Paradoxical nature of Absurdism...

Post by Chizzang »

Who could have ever imagined that a cartoon would be created around
Absurdism and Existentialism and the endless hilarity of both

Absurdism simply points out that Humans are obsessed with "The Meaning of life"
Whilst simultaneously ignoring all evidence that the Universe cares not for thee

There was a pretty good movie made on the subject back in the day.

Good GRIEF. I got through 3 1/2 minutes but how could you POSSIBLY watch that for over 17 minutes? That was totally devoid of any entertainment value at all. Unless of course it got a whole lot better after 3 1/2 minutes.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Only humans fascination with Sci-Fi
and metaphorical and philosophical conundrum

That's very existential of you to skip the video right at the part about existentialism
