Sigh... Sometimes even obvious irony is not obvious...
You know, this is a formal law of nature.
Laws of nature are objective.
This was law of subjectivity.
Dear ZephramC,
There is no law in nature, for it is metaphysical. It exists only because we imagine it exists.
What is the metaphysical, other than that which does not exist wishing that it did?
It is an irony of the past.
What is irony, other than a satire of the metaphorical? It is satire that is law.
Satire is but a juxtapositional demonstration of metaphor. It is the worn edges of an aging paradigm.
One cannot be subjected to metaphor, for it is only found out of bounds. One must seek to observe what it does not yet know.
A metaphor is a question, asking if it will be an irony of the future, or a unique facsimile of the present.
It cannot exist in the past, for it exists in the moment. It is from the future.
This paradox is resilient yet virginal. Tempered yet untouchable.
It is an impenetrable paradigm, waiting to be observed, but transcendent of the metaphysical by its very nature.
Call it ironic. Call it subjective. Call it anything you can imagine.
Call it whatever you want, while you still can, for it is a paradox observed within a paradigm.
It is but Nature painting pictures of the future.
You are merely temporarily-ordered chaos clinging to the edge of reality while slipping away into the metaphysical.
You are a finished painting, unable to fully observe its own composition.
Nature is expression. It is a sight waiting to be heard, a sound waiting to be seen.
It is an ocean in a sea of lifeboats, a torch in a vacuum.
It is potential incarnate. It is chaos immortal.

Dear ThickAsThieves,
nature is not metaphysical as it follows the laws of physics. Those laws might not be in our grasp, we will never know them fully and we can never be sure that our senses are not deceived at any given time or even all the time. For what it is worth, all our experiences can be just a set of electrical signal implanted into our solipsistic brain (in a vat) by some sophisticated computer.
But some laws exists and nature unfolds by those laws.
Even if all intelligent life and imagination ceases to exists and even if the life itself ceases to exists, universe will still be here, existing, following the laws of nature (or laws of physics depending on what you mean by nature).
Metaphysical is laying beyond physics (or beside it, after it in the case of original books by Aristotle). Reasoning without empirical evidence, philosophy, even religion can intersect this domain. The part of reality existing only in our imaginations is... well our imagination only. It is beautiful woeul, but sitl bound, countable and abiding laws of logic.
What is metaphor? What is irony? What is satire? What is humor? All the questions of degree, of measure, of right proportions. Who decides what is appropriate, what is adequate, what is excessive or deficient? Each individual for himself. Although many of them desire their subjective measure to be objective.
Nothing can exists only in the present. Four-dimensional reality does not like infinitely thin objects in either of its dimensions. Although we are raping Minkowski now. There is no paradox. Only misunderstanding and multitudes of motivations, conceptualizations and expressions of single underlaying principle of Human Action. There is no painter.
Altcoin might aspire to be Proper class, which it is not. But thanks to Zermelo, choice of your Altcoin is logical.
Thank you.
With reason, love and consequence,

... I am still afraid that MPOE-PR laws dictate that there is at least one human being in the lifetime of the universe that will take this post seriously.
