When I discovered Absurdest Theory, I eurekaed with as much thought as a chicken laying an egg, but that egg was a long time coming. I was a Resistentialist for many years and since the great tragedy I am one of the few left who knows the truth of that movement and the awesome mysteries it revealed.  I alone was able to reconstruct and finish the master’s treatise on metaphysics and I alone was able to throw it away and be done with it. That I have undoubtedly saved the world by doing so goes without question.

Today, Resistentialism is regarded as a ‘mock’ philosophy, but I can assure you that for over 60 years it was not.

At first a thriving movement, membership in the international had risen sharply in the 60’s but soon flattened out. It was almost a year before anyone noticed this was due not to lack of new members, but because an equal number of old members were succumbing to sudden, unexpected and terminal ‘physical accidents.’

Little is left of Resistentialism as a popular movement since the tragedy of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami when almost all proponents of the philosophy were destroyed by the colossal wave. I can only surmise that the presence of so many believers (almost 300) in one place and time would inevitably lead to a massive attack by the forces of the inanimate.

In retrospect it was foolish to have held a convention at all, especially on an island. Furthermore, Resistentialists should have suspected something immediately as soon as they noticed that everyone had arrived on Sumatra safely and without mishap. In addition, it was exceedingly strange that all copies of extant writings also arrived along with us despite the fact no one had planned on or remembered packing any books with them. (Then there is the unexplained matter of there being absolutely no recorded evidence that anything at all had been shipped with us other than our luggage.) As a result the only information left on the movement’s philosophy, music and all too many plays is their sole mention in Paul Jennings’ “Report on Resistentialism” (1962)http://www.resistentialists.com/2006/01/25/report-on-resistentialism/

The demise of Resistentialism and subsequent lack of interest in restoring it are proof to me that mankind is doomed. It is only in the hope that I am wrong that I have ventured out of seclusion in a ‘last stand’ attempt to save our species one more time.

I will describe in as much detail as I dare, how I came to the study of Resistentialism, life in the movement, the philosophy itself, the deeper implications of what we discovered and finally, its tragic end.
