ABSURDISM
Where shit just happens to happen
BACKGROUND
Since its conception, the world of philosophy has concerned itself with answering a critical question: what is "morally good" and "morally bad"? To answer this question, philosophers have proposed theorems based on possible yet hypothetical situations, and try to come up with the most "morally good” outcome or resolve.
However, as philosophy progressed, it became obvious that not every situation has an outcome more “morally good” than others. In some situations, philosophy has taught us, there is no such thing as being at fault.
SCENARIO
Picture: on a rainy day, someone is holding dye powder above a garment, preparing to mix it in water. Suddenly, thunder in the background scares the person, and the powder goes everywhere. Who or what is at fault? Is the person at fault for getting scared? Is it the thunder’s for being so loud?
Do you see how absurd these questions sound?
ABSURDISM
Absurdism, first presented by Albert Camus in his novel L’Etranger (The Stranger) is the philosophical concept where it is accepted that, at times, shit happens with nothing and no one to blame. According to Absurdism, the situation with the person and the thunder just happened to happen, and that nothing and no one is to blame. Is it bad luck? Who knows, but in the world of philosophy where everyone wants to answer everything with reason it comes off as absurd.
For us, it developed into a new technique which we now call dry pigment dye. You see, when shit just happens to happen, the real outcome may depend on your outlook.
