    ‘I met someone else, you should do it yourself’ – How to get over someone & The Philosophy of: Spiritualized’s A Perfect Miracle (The beautifully tragic absurdity of true love songs)

    October 28, 2018 - By Dave

    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…

    A Deep Dive into: Love [pt.8] – Is true love about admiration (of a friend)? + The [super fucking cool] Philosophy of: ‘Being just good friends’

    September 27, 2018 - By Dave

    This is a deep dive into the one word that may be more confused or have a greater subjective meaning than any other in the English language: Love. What does it really mean? —— Isn’t it terrible, Eryximachus,” he says, “that the poets have composed hymns and poems to other gods, but none of them has ever composed a eulogy of Love,…

    September 24, 2018 - By Dave

    Some men, indeed, only begin to live when it is time for them to leave off living. And if this seems surprising to you, I shall add that which surprise you still more: Some men have left off living before they have begun. – Seneca You are here on this earth for but a blink. So make it count, have…

    September 23, 2018 - By Dave

    Listening to songs that you did at happy times might bring you back to it. Looking at old photos of times where you most felt the way you love to might as well. Or maybe even writing or drawing or just doing the stuff you did when you most felt happiest. What’s the song (or songs) that take you back to…

    Could death possibly be a boat? – On the absurdity of: Death and the absurd but brilliant philosophy of: Rosencrantz & Guildernstern [pt.4]

    September 12, 2018 - By Dave

    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…

    The past can be an indicator of the present (and future) but your expectations of what’s going to happen (in the future) are entirely within your control (though they have little, or no, outcome on what actually happens.) – The (absurd but brilliant) Philosophy of: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern [pt.3] – The coin toss

    September 11, 2018 - By Dave

    Get a coin. Flip it. What was it? Head or tails? Okay, now do it again. And again. Now, those previous flips have an effect don’t they. They affect what you expect will happen, based on probability, but have absolutely zero effect on what actually happens. Because: #1: Probability’s a factor which operates within natural forces. Rule #2: Probability is not…

    Do you ever think of yourself of not having been born? Of course not, right? Because how could you imagine yourself as not been born? You wouldn’t know you hadn’t been born. It’s absurd to think about. Which is also why I don’t think about it. – Inspired by the absurd but brilliant philosophy (and wisdom) of: Rosencrantz and Guildernstern [pt.2]

    September 10, 2018 - By Dave

    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…

    Do you ever think of yourself as dead, lying in a box? Would you rather be dead lying in a box, or alive and in a box? Well, for one, if you choose dead in a box, you won’t even know what you’ve chosen, since you’re dead. Oh, and is life in a box better than no life at all? – The Philosophy of: Rosencrantz & Guilderstern (On the Absurdity of: Death, and our futile attempt to understand it)

    September 9, 2018 - By Dave

    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…

    ‘For some idiotic reason, your most horrific experiences are the stories you most love to tell’ – The Philosophy of Xavier in The Spanish Apartment.

    August 29, 2018 - By Dave

    Think back to the things that happened to you that seemed disastrous at the time, but now you look back at and laugh at. Outside of the comfort zone is where the most interesting things happen. And the more harrowing the experience, the fonder you may become of the memory. And the funnier it may be to remember it, and…

    Is a life where you’re totally present in the moment a meaningless one?/The difficulty of living in the present & The Philosophy of: Frida Kahlo [pt.4]

    August 21, 2018 - By Dave

    In your life, do you constantly vacillate between thinking about the past, the future, all the while trying to enjoy the moment? Well is it possible that a life aimed to live entirely in each moment as it comes a pointless one? Even when we are present in the moment, watching a sunset, laughing at something hilariously at something ridiculous…
