PHILOSOPHY

LIFE ON THE BRINK

Is reality real ?

That the sun will not rise tomorrow is no less intelligible proposition and implies no more contradiction than the affirmative that it will rise.

What do we really know?

If one was to look into a mirror and start arguing with oneself would you find it difficult to find some sort of resolution. Or would you need some form of mediation. This is generally what happens when you find yourself in a situation whereby your own understanding of what is going on around is somewhat subtly altered by the fact that your own in depth analysis of what the original argument was about appears to extenuate the viable solutions to your predicament. So that when you look into a mirror and you have difficulty in ascertaining who is the reflection. You can be forgiven for the sense of hopelessness that engulfs your persona. It is then and only then that you will suddenly become aware of the fact that it is indeed you who is the reflection. (Altered Reflective Subliminal Entropy) This is when a state of mind cannot make sense of what is not happening and assumes that everything that is happening is not. So the mind will not accept any form of reflective image and assumes that I am the reflection that I look at, not me. Many deep thinking and mediative philosophical cultures are of the consensus that, this is a load of bunkum.

Philosophy is what it is because if it wasn’t it would be something else.

Existential philosophy humor works best through irony, contradiction, and self-reflection, pointing out the tension between human desires and the apparent absurdity of life. It often overlaps with dark humor and absurdist comedy, making heavy philosophical ideas more accessible and amusing in everyday contexts.

Of course philosophically speaking it is hard to really know just exactly what you know. There is a distinct possibility that we really know a lot less than we think we know, but what is it that we really know.

And yet if we could understand philosophers would there be any point to it, which then begs the question what’s it all about ?

One day a giraffe was not where it was supposed to be, but no one knew where it was supposed to be so it didn’t really matter where it was supposed to be. Because people assumed it was somewhere else. But by over thinking to much about the giraffe you find yourself teetering on the edge of a cliff and only when you fall do you suddenly realize that to all intents and purposes that what as just happened to you never really happened because you yourself was not where you were supposed to have been. Kenneth Dyson 2026 on the philosophy of assumed awareness

What do we understand about about anything, understanding everything does not mean that you understand everything it means just exactly that !

There is a strangeness about philosophy or so we tend to think, and this assumption that philosophers know what they are talking about would be wrong.
