Default SOME RHYME WITH PHILOSOPHICAL AND ABSURDIST THEMES.

This is the joke of existence without knowable intrinsic purpose.
Human inability to know for certain renders all collective thinking worthless.
This position is absurdist. Describe the desire for clarity as a form of self-imprisonment,
The best question is “What is?” because the best answer can only be ambiguous.
Because this is all like the myth of Sisyphus repeated so on and so on,
Push a rock up a hilltop then it rolls back down so you can again begin rolling it along.
The myth at its core concerns the absurdity of a meaningless pursuit,
Does even meaningless have meaning if you believe there’s meaning in what you do?
Since the earliest oral traditions we’ve preoccupied our time with finding truth,
The recurring theme seems to be - be nice to people like they’d be nice to you.
Whether this is phrased as a moral imperative or as a spiritual law,
It recurs so often no one can dismiss it as primitive thought.
Altruism and peace. It appears nice but perhaps it’s naïve. Indifference and war.
Or is this clutching at straws? Or is it clutching at an imperfect representation of the original straws metaphysical form?
Definitive. Declarative. Authoritative texts contradicted by contradictory authoritative texts,
The next statement is true and the previous statement was false, do you understand philosophy yet?
Good, I don’t either. If they tell you they do then they’re a charlatan or a liar,
Reciting Higher Vedas of a timeless nature, madmen, marketers and messiahs.
Then again who can be certain that any of this is true? Only be certain that it may have some truth-like properties,
I could become a nihilist, but I don’t know enough stuff to follow it properly,
Still, wouldn’t it be freeing to just reject all of these –isms, -ilities, and –ologies,
And just be able to accept realities absurdity. Or it’s something like that, possibly.

i liked your economic verse plenty. but this struck a more resonant chord with me. you fleshed out absurdism in a way that was understandable and accessible. no flashing lights, just the real.

Since the earliest oral traditions we’ve preoccupied our time with finding truth,
The recurring theme seems to be - be nice to people like they’d be nice to you.
Whether this is phrased as a moral imperative or as a spiritual law,

your abab set-up/execution is a consistent and effective way of communicating. teaching, even.

dope as per usual friend.

Very interesting.

You are the master of "uncanny"
Basically just never know what i s gonna happen when I open a zygote piece, yet the conclusion is always the same.. incredibly dope well written and inteligent.

The myth at its core concerns the absurdity of a meaningless pursuit
Does even meaningless have meaning if you believe there’s meaning in what you do?

I loved theses lines. Well done. Nice to see you posting, homie

I find philosophy to be ridiculously interesting. ponder this , is Mike Wrecka a real person? or am I and this entire board a reality that you have created in some dream like state. maybe you are in a coma . or maybe humans don't even exist. and you are just some type of being that is capable of thought and have imagined this entire universe up while you are floating through an alternate dimension.

lol

dope stuff zyg

The difference between this piece and other pseudo psychological philosophical pieces is that this one doesn't have a preaching-form. It has a question form throughout. And that actually makes the reader feel relevant. As where other pieces tell you the right answer, in their form. Which is cool to mix up, but I feel as this embodies a piece that makes you think about what the writer is conveying in means to your own feelings/thoughts, rather than reading a piece that seems to be on par with an open mind but just tells you you're wrong because the certain individual writing it is above you.

you should read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

I agree with Darth Yoda that this is very open-minded while being directed. very philosophical without preaching philosophy

I enjoyed your tone lol. very reserved, but still reaches out and appeals to the reader

Hmmm..continuing with your ideals but switching it up a bit
absurd is quite right. intellectual to a certain degree with a different motive
the title is off putting but it has its share of quotable questions
the presentation is what sets it apart but I feel it doesnt come off how you thought
either that or maybe I'm used to reading the battle raps you have done
or maybe its because you show up at random times and drop amidst the....normal
