Our Motto: Embrace Logic, Humor and Absurdity

​

​​“Embrace Logic, Humor, and Absurdity” isn’t just a motto—it’s a declaration of spiritual clarity. Unlike traditions that rely on solemnity, blind faith, or rigid dogma, Druwayu invites adherents to think critically, laugh freely, and confront life’s chaos without illusion. These three pillars—reason, resilience, and radical honesty—form a uniquely modern spiritual framework that refuses to pretend the universe owes us answers. It’s not rebellion for rebellion’s sake—it’s clarity without pretense. In that, it also conforms to the very meaning of the name Druwayu—"True Ways."

​

​Embracing Logic:​

​

Logic is the study and application of reasoning—how we form conclusions, analyze arguments, and evaluate validity. It provides a framework to distinguish between true and false statements, ensuring consistency and coherence in thought processes.

 

• Deductive Logic: Involves reasoning from general premises to specific conclusions (e.g., “If all humans are mortal, and Socrates is human, then Socrates is mortal.”)

• Inductive Logic: Draws general conclusions from specific observations (e.g., observing a pattern in nature and predicting its continuation).

 

Practice:

​

• Formal Logic: Uses symbolic representations and rules to analyze argument structures.

• Informal Logic: Focuses on everyday reasoning and evaluating arguments based on relevance and evidence.

 

Logic is a foundational tool in philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and daily decision-making, helping us navigate complex problems with clarity and precision (making sense of things beyond mere assumption).

 

Embracing Humor:

 

Humor is the ability to perceive and express things in ways that evoke amusement, laughter, or joy. It’s deeply rooted in human psychology, social interaction, and cultural context. Humor often arises from unexpected twists, incongruities, exaggerations, or the irrational.

 

• Wordplay: Puns, jokes, and clever uses of language.

• Physical Comedy: Slapstick and exaggerated gestures.

• Observational Humor: Finding amusement in everyday situations.

• Irony and Sarcasm: Using contradiction or sharp wit to convey a humorous point.

• Satire: Mocking societal norms, irrational behaviors, or institutions imposed ideologies to entertain and provoke thought.

 

Humor connects people—it lightens heavy moments, disarms tension, and nurtures bonds. It’s universal yet uniquely shaped by individual experiences and cultural nuances. In short, humor is the joy of recognizing life’s quirks and oddities.

 

Embracing Absurdity:

 

It is a philosophical perspective that explores the inherent tension between humans' search for meaning and the universe’s apparent lack of meaning. It grapples with the idea that life has no ultimate purpose, yet we are compelled to seek one—a situation that can feel paradoxical, even the ridiculous and 'absurd.'

 

• The Absurd: The clash between desire for clarity and meaning and the indifferent organized chaotic nature of the universe.

• Embracing the Absurd: Rather than falling into despair or creating artificial meaning, absurdism suggests acknowledging this tension and living authentically (honestly/truthfully) despite it.

• Freedom and Defiance: Absurdism gives one, by accepting the absurd, true freedom to define their own path (give true and personal meaning) and live fully which when applied properly, also allows for a greater sense of compassion for others.

 

As one can comprehend by this presentation, all three are complimentary to one another and the foundational name of this tradition rooted in seeking impersonal truth and being completely honest about it, while also being honest with oneself and others. This also means the ability to simply admit when one does not know something rather than foolishly trying to defend and remain in ignorance (willfully ignorance = stupid on purpose).
