Double Jokes are not Funny. There are no contradictions

When you see a parody of a parody, for example Austin Powers 3, it is not funny. It parodied Austin Powers 1. Austin Powers 1 was a parody of James Bond. Therefore Austin Powers 3 was not funny. Jokes about jokes are not funny. Take this simple python code:

>>> joke="joke"
>>> not "joke"
False
>>> not not "joke"
True
>>> not not not "joke"
False
>>> not not not "joke"
False
>>> not not not not "joke"
True
>>>

It is really the same as the Principle of Noncontradiction. It is possible to attempt to lie, but the nature of the lie is lllusory. The nature of illusion is illusion, and unreality. An unfunny joke is the same thing. A joke about a joke is an illusory humor. It is not funny. That is absolute. So it is possible to try, but it does not represent the all-funny nature of things. Creating contradictions does not expose the unreality of the world, but rather the unreality of the contradiction.

For that matter, Pythagoras claimed that there were no irrational numbers. That may even be true. The square root of 2 may be an illusion. Everything has at least 1 flaw, and everything being funny has the flaw of the double joke. Pythagoreans' flaw was the square root of 2. "Everything is one"'s flaw is "what if you don't believe that? Then everything's 2." Logic's flaw is that people can deny logic. However, all of those things are simply illusions. If you deny logic, you are not logical. Logically, that is true. If you make an unfunny non-joke, it is just not funny. If you see everything as dualistic, you are just in illusion. Illusion is not true. Logic tells us that.

Double jokes are not funny. 

How to arrive at absolute morality and what it is

One arrives at absolute morality by taking assumptions and finding their absolute rational nature. First, assume that you should be nonviolent. After years of nonviolence, you realize that there is no way that violence is the answer. It is a combination of the empirical experience and the rational generalization. After testing out nonviolence, or honesty, 100% of the time, it is easy to see that there is no other way. 

Sometimes religious leaders say, "you have to experience it to know it. Without the experience you can't know. It can't be explained." This is a half truth. You do need the experience to know something, but the explanation is equally important. This is the explanation: Speak the truth, and be kind. Those are absolute imperatives. The experience of this proves its validity. If you don't wish to prove the validity of nonviolence and honesty, then simply don't try them out.  However, if you wish for metaphysical certitude then you should try out the correct things. These are the correct things.

Proofs For and Against God

The Transcendental Argument for God from Morality states this:

1. Some moral values are universal imperatives (e.g. "Don't kill, don't lie, don't steal, don't cheat")

2. Universal imperatives need a lawgiver

3. That lawgiver is God

That argument is strong but is not 100% valid, because laws might exist simultaneously with a cyclic and endless universe. There are many laws with less than perfect lawmakers which are still good laws. However, this argument against the God as described in the Bible is metaphysically certain:

1. Some moral values are absolute universal imperatives (e.g. "Don't kill, don't lie, don't steal, don't cheat")

2. God has disobeyed some universal moral imperatives, particularly, "Don't kill." He killed many people. He killed Jesus for starters. He also killed everyone except Noah and his wife once.

3. Any God that disobeys absolute universal imperatives is not a moral God

So God may exist the way the Bible describes, but that God is not moral. However, God may still exist. He just isn't the way the Bible describes him. That's where the first proof is more likely.

a 3PM MP3 would be a palindrome.

Did you know that? Also, did you know that you can see about 10 times farther than a cat, if it is daytime?
