Absurdisms

I think I may have invented a new concept (who knows?!), which approximates a comical opposite to the concept “reductio ad absurdum.”I call it “aenigmata ad absurdum,” or riddling to the point of absurdity:Mixing preexisting thought experiments, koans, riddles, and paradoxes to convolve their metaphysical content such that the individual statements/questions lose context for an absurd yet comical result.An example of aenigmata ad absurdum is:What is the sound of one photon clapping in the forest when no woodchucks are around to hear it?The above example was inspired by the following:1. Albert Einstein’s famous light-riding Gedankenexperiment: “If I pursue a beam of light with the velocity c (velocity of light in a vacuum), I should observe such a beam of light as an electromagnetic field at rest though spatially oscillating.” 2. Zen Buddhist koan: “What’s the sound of one hand clapping?” 3. George Berkeley’s seeding of the riddle: “If a tree falls in the forest with no ears to hear does it make a sound?” 4. American-English tongue twister: "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Thanks for the inspiration: Mark Meek-- Dan Pohl, facebook.com
