Schrödinger’s Purpose

Schrödinger's Purpose is the act of coming up with a justification or explanation for something after its completion.

It involves attaching meaning beyond the original intent to make something seem deeper or to mask laziness.

As long as you can make it sound good you can hide a rush job by making it sound intentional and well thought out.
An example of Schrödinger’s Purpose is using a fancy sounding artist statement to justify not having added colour or shading to your drawing. “ The simple black and white represents the polarity of the potential paths of the future” etc etc.

“Ugh I don’t want to do that art assignment”
“Just Schrödinger’sPurpose it”
What do you mean?”
“Just draw whatever you want, and come up with a way it relates to the project after you’re done”
“Good idea

Aw, but muffin... I mean... You said that was GOD a second ago. You said it was God... AND NOW, you're saying that it's kids? What happened to 'happiness?' You were mocking people for not being happy in a place where your great gram-gram got turned into chicken pot pie...
Hym "Ha! Sounds like a projection to me! Children make life more meaningful and purposeful... TO YOU! It sounds like other people's life's are less meaningful or purposeful to you. Sounds you think your life is more important than everybody else because your slut wife dumped out a couple of trophies for you.... But you're not. And neither are your kids. Your value is 1 and, in time, it will revert back to 0. The value of you children's life is 1. It will also revert to 0."
