Kudos, Dada!

No, not that Meaning of Life...

It's funny how when people no nothing of philosophy they say "what? the meaning of life and all that? yeah", but as soon ones start reading any philosophy one kind of forgets about the meaning of life thing. Maybe that's a failing of philosophy, I dunno.

Okonkwo's father (from Things Fall Apart) had the right idea. Drink heavily, father some kids who hate you, be a social pariah and not give a damn.

Oh so I'm on the right track then.

Not at all. The first thing you learn is that it's not the best question to begin with, only looks from afar like it might be.

Man, the more I write about this in my notebook, the more sense it makes. It accounts for everything and doesn't require much in the way of religion, faith, or philosophy, for that matter. It is all encompassing and explains virtually everything without having to directly discuss them, yet it doesn't avoid them either. I seriously feel like people must feel when they find direct revelation on drugs, except that I've never used drugs, nor have I forgotten what I have revealed.

It's just so...awe-some (in the original sense of the word).

― Girolamo Savonarola, Saturday, 26 July 2003 04:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Sure. Do a Fermat on your own thread.

Cuius rei demonstrationem mirabilem sane detexi hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet.

See you at the FAP next week then?

― Millar (Millar), Saturday, 26 July 2003 04:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, if someone will tell me exactly when and where it will be?! Hmph! ;)

― Girolamo Savonarola, Saturday, 26 July 2003 04:58 (twenty-two years ago)

First geek to say 42 gets a knuckle sammich.

thatd be you then

Category error!

Can it be reframed as 'why are we all here?' to avoid that?

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 26 July 2003 10:34 (twenty-two years ago)

have good friends eat good food smoke mad pot and listen to great music.

― chaki (chaki), Saturday, 26 July 2003 10:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Works for me.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 26 July 2003 10:47 (twenty-two years ago)

The Epicureans are invading!

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 26 July 2003 10:50 (twenty-two years ago)

No, seriously, where and when the fuck is the Baltimore FAP?

― Girolamo Savonarola, Saturday, 26 July 2003 16:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I read this title as "I fucked the meaning out of life". That would have been a great thread (not that this one isn't excellent, obv).

chaki got it right except for the copious copulation part.
