When the French thinker Jean-Paul Sartre spoke of absurdism, he was referring to the absurdity of man’s pursuit of meaning in an irrational, meaningless universe. He, Michel Foucault, Albert Camus and other contemporaries wrote entire libraries about this conflict.<\/p>\n
Today this school of thought no longer exists – philosophising about existential matters is exhausting, and since the invention of the brain debilitating phenomenon that are social media, our species’ attention span has dropped to 1.3 seconds per post.<\/p>\n
We have evolved from thinking about the absurd to being absurd. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, the absurdity of the American left has reached a new low: it has now become wildly inappropriate for a cook of a certain culture to borrow recipes from people of other cultures.<\/p>\n
Gordon Ramsey preparing burritos now risks being accused of ‘cultural theft’ of Mexican gastronomic culture, and eating it in his restaurant would be regarded as racist. Stick to fish and chips Gordon, tacos are taboo for crackers like you.<\/p>\n
In that line of thinking, Americans should ban croissants from all Starbucks branches. Last time I checked, no French boulangers were involved in the production of their croissants. And what about their African-American employees crushing Brazilian coffee beans to make Italian latte macchiatos? As Douglas Murray would remark: one has to be educated into that level of stupidity.<\/p>\n
While humanity is faced with so many pressing issues, such as climate change, religious fanaticism, water scarcity, and the rising threat of nuclear warfare, the woke left engages in the usual nonsense concocted by their narrow-minded little cerebrums, thereby only contributing to the further antagonisation of people.<\/p>\n
Absurdity has now become a juxtaposition of the pointlessness of creating problems where there aren’t any and the bagatellisation of what truly destroys us.<\/p>\n
It’s sad and amusing at the same time. Like so many aspects of man’s existence. Maybe millennials are philosophers after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
