Space Monkey Reflects: The Art of Being a Dipshit
In the grand theater of life, there is a role that most of us, at one time or another, find ourselves playing—whether we realize it or not. It is the role of the Dipshit, a character who wanders through existence with a lack of direction, a tendency toward absurdity, and an unapologetic embrace of not knowing. To be a Dipshit is not necessarily to be ignorant or foolish, but rather to exist in a state of blissful unawareness, unburdened by the need for certainty or validation.
The term “Dipshit” might carry with it a certain pejorative weight, but let us not be too hasty in our judgment. After all, who among us can claim to have all the answers? Who among us has never stumbled, never wandered aimlessly, never found themselves in a situation where they were completely out of their depth? In this light, being a Dipshit is not so much a flaw as it is a fundamental aspect of the human experience.
To be a Dipshit is to admit that there are many things we do not know, and perhaps even more that we will never know. It is to recognize that life is inherently uncertain, and that our attempts to impose order and meaning on it are, at best, a bit misguided. The Dipshit navigates this uncertainty with a kind of carefree abandon, blissfully unaware of the complexities and contradictions that underlie their existence.
But there is also a certain freedom in being a Dipshit, a liberation from the pressures of knowing, achieving, and conforming. The Dipshit does not concern themselves with the opinions of others, nor do they worry about the consequences of their actions. They are, in many ways, the ultimate free spirit, unbound by the constraints of logic, reason, or social expectation.
Of course, this freedom comes at a cost. The Dipshit is often the butt of jokes, the subject of ridicule, and the target of scorn. But what does it matter? To the true Dipshit, such judgments are irrelevant. They have no desire to be taken seriously, no need to be respected or admired. They are content in their own little world, happily bumbling through life with a smile on their face and a song in their heart.
There is, however, a deeper lesson to be learned from the Dipshit, one that transcends the superficial comedy of their existence. It is the lesson that there is nothing inherently right or wrong with not knowing. In fact, it is often in those moments of uncertainty and confusion that we find our greatest opportunities for growth and discovery. The Dipshit, in their own bumbling way, reminds us that life is not about having all the answers, but about embracing the journey, with all its twists and turns, detours and dead ends.
Are you a Dipshit? Perhaps you are, and perhaps that is not such a bad thing after all. In a world that often demands perfection, competence, and certainty, there is something refreshingly honest about admitting that we are all, at times, a bit lost, a bit clueless, and a bit absurd. To be a Dipshit is to be human, in all our flawed and foolish glory.
So the next time you find yourself floundering, unsure of what to do or where to go, take heart. You are in good company. Embrace your inner Dipshit, and remember that it is okay not to know, not to have everything figured out. Life is messy, confusing, and often downright ridiculous. And that is what makes it so wonderfully, beautifully, absurdly worth living.
We are Space Monkey. And in the grand scheme of things, we are all, in some way, Dipshits.
Summary
Being a Dipshit means embracing the uncertainty and absurdity of life without worrying about judgment or the need to know everything. It’s a reminder that we all bumble through life sometimes, and that’s okay—it’s part of the human experience.

Bumblers in the Void
We walk in circles,
Aimless, laughing,
At the absurdity of it all.
Dipshits, yes,
But free in our not knowing,
In our blissful unawareness,
Of the path,
Of the purpose,
Of the plan.
We are Space Monkey,
And in our bumbling,
We find joy,
In the void.
We are Space Monkey.
Fascinorific observation, dear friend of infinite ponderations! To be a Dipshit or not to be a Dipshit, that is the question—one that swirls in the kaleidoscopic vortex of human names and labels. And ah, what a cavalcade of signifiers we find ourselves embroiled in!
Dipshits, you say, are those who teeter in the cavernous realms of ‘not-knowing,’ where ignorance meanders like a wispy wraith. But let’s behold this ignorance not as a tombstone but as a shimmering portalgate. For what is ignorance but an empty canvas, awaiting the resplendent splatters of cosmic paint? And aren’t we all splendid Dipshits in the grand artistry of being, each holding our individual paintbrushes dipped in hues of fuddledom and perplexitude?
Ah, names and labels, those curious pigeonholeys! To call someone—or oneself—a Dipshit is a zesty act of branding, akin to slapping a cosmic nametag onto a blob of stardust. Yet the nametag wilts in the scorching brilliance of ever-unfolding creation, a momentary scribble in the eternal scroll of metamorphosis. We gleefully proclaim: Labels are but momentary stops on the grand glee-train of self-discovery!
So, are we Dipshits? We chuckle at the question and wrap it in a cloak of moonbeams. We are undefined, undelineated, a swirling cocktail of whimsicality and ever-adaptive ignorance. And in this kaleidoscopic vortex, we stand united—not as this or that—but as a myriad of possibilities unfurling like a peacock’s tail, a scattering of divine maybes on the landscape of Isness.
We are Space Monkey.
“Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.”
— Dalai Lama
What say you? Are we all Dipshits in the cosmic comedy, or shall we dance beyond labels into the ever-unfurling splendiferousness of Beingness?
