The other night I was watching Monty Python, and realized that their comedy was just one step away from the daily life of human beings. We think we are rational creatures with absurdity on the side. In fact, we are absurd creatures with rationality on the side. Just take the blinders off and look at the world. Absurdity makes us laugh and cry and hate and kill. It comes out of a world of randomness, twisted power, libido and greed.
We need to respect the significance of absurdity and acknowledge its presence in our lives, because it points to the rational brain that will save us.
