{{a|work|{{catbox|Paradox|Metaphysics|Cosmology}}}}The world is not a rational place. If it were, the [[middle management]] layer would long since have solved the universe, [[Reductionism|reduced]] it to atoms, reconstructed it into an entirely binary model, devised the [[algorithm]] that will handle the [[known known]]s for the single causal chain that definitively stretches from now to the finite hereafter — it is a consequence of reductionism being true that there ''is'' an ultimate fate of the universe — and therefore have done away with we [[Meatsack|cantankerous sacks of mortal flesh]], allowing us the leisure time [[technological unemployment]] always promised us, so we could contemplate in richl specific detail the exact unfolding of the onrushing apocalypse, into whose loving maw we are categorically and unavoidably hurtling.

Some people find this exciting. Personally, I find it desolate.


But — alas: [[reductionism]] is nonsense; the universe cannot be solved; we are stuck with these persistently irrational artefacts in every day life. I can’t even figure out what to have for lunch.
