“Being a fool the right way means not being the kind of fool who uncritically accepts so-called real-world truths that attempt to explain (away) the inexplicable, while unthinkingly denying huge swaths of data that contradict those very ‘truths.’
The wrong type of fool focuses only on the profound while sweeping the absurd under the rug. The right kind, however, realizes that ‘profound’ and ‘absurd’ don’t exist in isolation but as a meaningful paradox at the center of human experience: the absurdly profound.”
