Why do you value the emotion of silliness to the exclusion of all the others? edit: Maybe a better question is, what is the objective measure of silliness?

- andrewfromx 10y agowhat do humans like to do when the work is all done? Sing and dance. Why? What is this all about? It's all about nothing. Its all about ba ba ba do do do, one big dance the universe over, Look at the atomic level, nothing but one big rave. Atoms dancing like crazy in all sorts of weird patterns just because.
- pharrington 10y agoPeople create more tasks to do when the current tasks are done. Singing and dancing is communication. Your answer wasn't objective, and neither was mine. If I understood you correctly, your answer to "what is the objective measure of silliness" is essentially to say our best model of nature is of particles in spacetime adhering to certain rules. My, and what I assume is the common definition of silly, is inconsequential incoherence. Perhaps your definition is different? Nature is not silly, since the consequences of its rules are both measurable and consistent. If you're saying its absurd to think of human society in terms of physics, well sure. Don't do that, its the wrong layer of abstraction.
