The Reason for Colosseum



 "The true nature of reason is such an abstract concept. One that is beyond human mind, or any derivative mind in that matter." - Severinus Pseudosolipsist, 2014

Many would find it rather irrelevant to question one that is already determined abstract, and since it is already beyond us, it is entirely useless to pursue knowledge in such a path. We don't think so. My good friend Pseudosolipsist always mentions about how the purpose of humanity is to advance closer to the truth, no matter how far, no matter how impossible it may seem. Our pursuit may behave like an exponential function approaching assymptote that is true: always nearing, never reaching, yet closer regardless. After all, aren't we all here, in the age of advanced technology and questioning consciousness, as a result of our predecessors continuous effort on learning the basic nature of things and questioning what seemed ridiculous at their point in time? These "leap of faith" are, in my opinion, of essence.


The colosseum is essentially a platform for us to note down our thoughts, our leaps, our attempts at reaching the unreachable. It might be the dumbest, reckless idiot that entered the colosseum to show how insignificant he truly is. It might be the most daring and most challenging of thoughts that entered the colosseum, standing for what it really believe is true until the last breath. And you, you are the audience sitting from the seemingly higher ground, watching, analyzing, judging, for the life of a gladiators also depend on the direction your thumbs are pointing at. In the end, it is the beast that are before him, the audiences shouting insults and singing praises for him, and the others fighting for the same purpose, that will truly shape a gladiator into his truest form. These gladiators are our ideas, and for such a purpose the Colosseum of Reason exists.

So let it be known that the battle has begun. May those worthy of progress stand tall.
