//[[Philosophy]] / [[Existentialism]] ///
====== Absurdism ======
Absurdism refers to the notion that concepts like the [[Meaning of Life]], ie. whether life has intrinsic values, constitute an absurdity. My personal, short answer is: Yes, without anything else we have no reason to assume that there is intrinsic value to life or, well, anything. Deep topics, some would say, but there really isn't very much to it.


//[[Philosophy]] ///
====== Absurdity ======
In terms of words, an absurdity is a [[non sequitur]] based on a false premise. Non sequiturs are wrong logical conclusions based on sound premises, however when not only the conclusion is wrong but also the premises are flawed, the entire logical construct becomes //absurd//. This is a relevant field of discussion in philosophy where statements and conclusions will very quickly hit the limits of logic and reason. It has been the subject of study ever since and many have come up with different interpretations. Absurdities arise where humans attempt to describe physical realities even though humans see the world not as it is but through [[Pattern|patterns]].\\
