1230 || the philosophy of silliness

About this episode

To be silly in a serious society is a revolutionary act. By embracing a sense of silliness, you can almost create + enter a new reality within the reality you’re currently in. You can create a new world within the current one, simply by embracing the silliness that appears in the mundane. 


Choosing to be silly is a valid response to trauma as well as the general chaos of the world, and should be interpreted as such
