Subversive logic and the meaning of life

Posted by admin - 09/09/09 at 05:09 pm

I just sat down to write a few minutes worth of inane ramblings, there’s no particular rhyme or reason, I just want to see what transpires so sit back and ponder in bemusement as I blow your mind and test your patience with concept and opinion from the furthest reaches of my mind, you don’t have to agree and you don’t have to like it but you probably should if you know what’s good for you.

There is logic behind even the most illogical argument, if there weren’t arguments would not even exist, on this basis both illogical logic and logical logic are the root of all evil and not money or religion as traditional thought would have us believe.

For money was just the next logical step after trading beans and religion was a logical way of explaining all that there was before science was invented; both are therefore products of logic in themselves…..logically speaking.

Conciousness, of course, gave rise to logic, and therefore effectively pre-dates it. On the same note this suggests that conciousness may actually be a greater evil than logic, ergo in trying to raise your mind to a higher state of conciousness this article may actually exacerbate an already bad situation and logically harness the potential to destroy the world.

I am now beginning to realise that this makes me all powerful and if anybody should feel the urge to bow down to me at this point they should probably do so before my new found superiority complex kicks in. As an alternative, may I also suggest that if your existence is in any way pointless you may actually consider losing conciousness and giving the rest of us a chance, to be fair this statement does apply to pretty much everyone on earth, no matter how important you may think you are, actually you’re not. It’s like a great philosopher once said – “Drugs are bad….hmmmkay” and damn it he was right, even the ‘good’ ones, for gods sake give natural selection a fighting chance.

Now it is kinda early to be dropping a bombshell like this but in a single sentence I am about to divulge the meaning of life, in the hope that you may actually understand my point of view.

To put it quite simply “Life is an extraordinary, yet unique series of sequences and events, it always has been and it always will be” when you realise this you should realise that the fact that were here at all is a fluke of circumstance, and that the meaning is not, in fact a meaning at all.

That said, what if we don’t even exist? We may be a product of imagination, if a tear in the space time continuum could cause a shift in all that is currently logical, what’s to say that that tear is not just a synaptic anomaly in the mind of some greater being, and that reality is not constantly changing without us even knowing it. Of course this theory would bring our own consciousness into question and therefore for now we shall stick with the reality we all know and love.

    I liked this expression: illogical logic and logical logic. I have been trying to write up an article naming something like ‘logic of illogic’ from when i found that truth was to be sought in non truths since that is where truth truly is.
    Logic is a bad name for some kind of intellectual exercises, and so nobody is actually giving a definition of ‘logic’ to the satisfaction of any intelligent man.
    Meanwhile sentences like ‘what if we don’t even exist? We may be a product of imagination’ are , as i can see,mere disarray of words but permitted by illogic (forgive me if that offends)
    ( I hpoe to put out my philosophy some time later on)
