Don’t Say I Never Warned You, When Your Train Gets Lost
- Curated By Michael Vale
Absurdism’ follows the theory that any attempt to make rational sense of the universe is doomed to fail because the universe itself is not rational. Following on from this one can conclude that rationalism is a human invention based on all kinds of assumptions about measurement and predictability etc. that are totally informed by earthbound speculations. If, on the other hand, we embrace the fact that we are all part of a giant and all-encompassing mystery, then we can get back to trusting our inner voices and creating outlandish myths and theories that aim to entertain rather than explain.
The title (Don’t say I never warned you) when your train gets lost is a line from the Bob Dylan song It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry (1965).
