This is part two of a Deep Dive into true love songs. Those songs that aren’t just made of the fairy floss euphoria one person can make us feel, but also the absurd sadness that the absence of them, or the absence of something within us, can make us feel. Those two polar states of truly being human are what…
…The love song is never truly happy. It must first embrace the potential for pain. Those songs that speak of love without having within their lines an ache or a sigh are not love songs at all but rather Hate songs disguised as love songs, and are not to be trusted… The love song must resonate with the susurration of…
This is part 4 in a series on the absurd but brilliant philosophy of Rosencrantz and Guildernstern in Rosencrantz & Guildernstern are Dead. Here’s the rest, and why those guys are diamonds. We know nothing about death. And cannot. But oh, but actually, there is one thing we know about it – it’s inevitable. Which can either be incredibly depressing…
This is part 2 of the absurdist but brilliant philosophy of Rosencrantz and Guildernstern… here’s part 1. All the medical progress that’s been made over the years is good, right? And all the scientific and engineering progress too, right? And the fact that your parents had you is also good, right? Well, of course it’s good, but you have no…
We don’t understand death. It confuses the shit out of us. And by the very definition of life, in which it can not co-exist with the state of being dead, we never will. No one will ever tell you anything about death. If someone comes up to you and tries telling you what death is like, ignore them and tell…
Here’s part one and part two of a mini-series on Frida Kahlo; someone who can still teach us a lot on how to live, through her art and how she herself lived. ***** Just as it’s absurd that no one will ever truly know what’s it like to be you, as you only know the deep thoughts that are inside your own…
Philosophy is not about making ‘progress’. Figuring out how to live a good life is as confusing now as it was in Ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago. The worries, anxieties and fears people have are basically the same, the only things that have changed are the technology that affects them. The point of philosophy and the pursuit of wisdom…
There’s nothing more absurd, while being amazing at the same time, as love. But the closest thing is art. And there aren’t any other things we dive into, embark upon blindly or get completely swept away by. But nothing connects us to each other than those two things. And love (and break up) songs do both at the same time. Watch this: How absurd…
How can there be 68,000,000,000,021 love songs (and even ones where the guy says he’ll ‘jump in front of a train for ya‘) in a world where people still find making love work at best a mystery, and at worst, a labour? Because there’s only 2 ways we can truly come close to knowing what it’s like to be someone…
If someone’s decisions seems odd or completely understandable to you, they’re probably a no-brainer to them. And even if you think you do understand the motivations and reasons for their decisions or what they do, you probably only know a part of the picture. Natasha in Tolstoy’s War and Peace is misunderstood, though she had every right, in her mind (the mind…
