Welcome to Cosmic Absurdity

Does it make any sense that 2/3 of the world's population lives on less per day than the cost of a cup of coffee (not even good coffee)? Does it make any sense that violence is one of our favorite forms of communication? Does it make any sense that we are living on a spinning ball hurtling through space at the edge of an ordinary galaxy? Does it make any sense the we can all trace our ancestry back to a clever and feisty molecule?

To me, that's all a part (and a very small part) of cosmic absurdity. It makes the whole thing, in one gasp, hilarious and profound. Lots to think about and to make art about. So I do.
