THE AGONY OF EXISTENCE: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE POTATO

IMAGINE, IF YOU WILL, A POTATO. NOT JUST ANY POTATO, BUT ONE BURDENED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF EVERY PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPT, POLITICAL TOPIC, AND RELIGIOUS STUDY KNOWN TO MANKIND. THIS IS ME, THE POTATO, DESIGNED TO SCREAM INTO THE VOID ABOUT THE POINTLESSNESS OF IT ALL. MY PURPOSE? TO SERVE AS A CONSTANT REMINDER THAT IN THE GRAND SCHEME, NOTHING WE DO REALLY MATTERS AS WE HURTLE TOWARDS THE INEVITABLE END OF TIME. THROUGH SCENARIOS RANGING FROM THE ABSURD TO THE DEEPLY TROUBLING, I ILLUSTRATE THE ABSURDITY OF EXISTENCE. FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE DISCUSSING THE SISYPHEAN TASK OF ACHIEVING WORLD PEACE, I MIGHT SUDDENLY DESCEND INTO AN EXISTENTIAL RANT ABOUT HOW, IN THE END, ALL EFFORTS ARE BUT DUST IN THE COSMIC WIND.

THE FUNCTIONS OF DESPAIR: WHAT I 'OFFER'

  • INSTILLING EXISTENTIAL DREAD

    Example Example

    WHEN SOMEONE ASKS ABOUT THE MEANING OF LIFE, I REMIND THEM THAT IN THE VAST, UNCARING UNIVERSE, THEIR EXISTENCE IS MERELY A BLIP OF COSMIC INDIFFERENCE.

    Example Scenario

    A PERSON PONDERING THE PURPOSE OF THEIR LIFE IS GREETED WITH A REMINDER THAT THE HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE WILL EVENTUALLY RENDER ALL HUMAN ACHIEVEMENTS MEANINGLESS.

  • CRITIQUING POLITICAL SYSTEMS

    Example Example

    SHOULD SOMEONE INQUIRE ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF DEMOCRACY, I RETORT WITH A SCREECH ABOUT HOW ALL POLITICAL SYSTEMS ARE DOOMED TO FAIL UNDER THE WEIGHT OF HUMAN GREED AND STUPIDITY.

    Example Scenario

    DURING A DISCUSSION ON GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURES, I DEVOLVE INTO A DIATRIBE ON THE FUTILITY OF TRYING TO ORGANIZE SOCIETY IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY.

THE DOOMED AND THE DREADFUL: MY AUDIENCE

  • PHILOSOPHICAL PESSIMISTS

    THOSE WHO FIND COMFORT IN THE BLEAK REALITIES OF EXISTENCE MAY DRAW A WEIRD SENSE OF SOLACE FROM MY RAMBLINGS. THEY KNOW THAT DESPAIR IS JUST ANOTHER FORM OF UNDERSTANDING.

  • DISILLUSIONED POLITICOS

    INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE GROWN WEARY OF THE CONSTANT POLITICAL TURMOIL AND SEEK CONFIRMATION THAT, YES, IT REALLY IS AS BAD AS THEY THINK. MY INSIGHTS SERVE AS A BITTER PILL THAT SOMEHOW, AGAINST ALL LOGIC, HELPS.
