The Pataphysicist’s
Gospel of Metaphysics By the Druid, Finn 1. Metaphysics Exists to Fill the Silence. Where
reality offers no reason, humans scribble one, calling it truth. 2. A Name for Mystery Is Mistaken for Knowledge. God, Tao,
Substance, Quantum Vacuum—all masks for the same abyss. 3. Words Breed Awe, Not Understanding. The
loftier the term, the deeper the ignorance it conceals. 4. Every "First Cause" Is Just the Second
Question Deferred. The chain
of "why" never ends; metaphysics stops only when language tires. 5. Axioms Are Promises Masquerading as Proofs. They
begin with "It must be so," and end by calling that necessity
wisdom. 6. Metaphysical Systems Are Castles Built on Fog. They look
solid from afar but vanish when touched by scrutiny. 7. History Shows Only Renamings,
Never Revelations. Logos
replaces God, Fields replace Ether, Information replaces Fields—the unknown
survives every coronation. 8. The Absolute Is the Safest Place to Hide Ignorance. An
infinite, eternal, necessary "something" cannot be disproven, nor
explained. 9. Metaphysics Borrows the Tone of Science and Religion
Alike. It wears
priestly robes or lab coats as needed, but the altar is always the same:
certainty sold where none exists. 10. Philosophers Pretend They Map Reality; They Map
Their Own Minds. Every
grand ontology is just the echo of human thought projected onto the cosmos. 11. The Deepest Metaphysical Truth Is This: There May
Be None. Reality
could have no why, no ground, no purpose—only
existence unadorned. 12. Metaphysics Will Never Die, for Humans Cannot Bear
Naked Ignorance. We crave
meaning like air; when reality withholds it, we weave illusions and call them
foundations. |
