In philosophy absurdity refers to the fundamental conflict between humans' desire for meaning, order, and purpose in life, and the universe's apparent lack of inherent meaning or rational structure. Beyond this existential condition, absurdity manifests throughout our society and daily lives in many different forms.
It seems to pervade our decisions ranging from small insignificant ones to the global and generational. What bewilders me is that we are often keen to point out these contradictions, but seldom use them to guide our actions.
Even more strikingly, many of us choose to live despite apparent life’s absurdity. Or at least those absurd things that can be defined as such based on our current knowledge. Pursuing goals that we believe in seems to be a more powerful force than logic.
In this project I attempt to explore absurdity of our lives. It is set in natural environment as both life and its absurdity are derived from the nature itself.
our exploration of the workings of the world led us to the theoretical limit of what we are able to learn about it. humanity is still hopelessly pursuing the fundamental laws of physics.

contrarian flows usually exist simultaneously in both directions across any physical or virtual fence. individuals on either side trust that they are improving their lot

contrarian

it is both increasingly difficult to hide evil and increasingly easy to avoid seeing it. the line between tending your own garden and complicity through wilful ignorance is thin

no evil

economics acknowledges myopic behaviour of people with regards to delayed rewards. is it an acceptable excuse?

myopic

inventions are double-edged swords. before thinking outside the box, maybe worth reading what's on it

box

comfort of higher meaning can be both liberating and blinding. it depends on whether it exists, whether one should seek it, believe it, or create it

meaningless

despite ubiquitous unavoidable limitations, contradictions, meaninglessness and in some cases absence of even theoretical chances of success, people audaciously power through. embracing the nature of this world and of themselves

does absurdity of life persist if there is no free will?
