When you realize
that every question
has infinite answers,
then there is no longer
any reason to ask “why.”
All potentials
are equally possible.
Does this mean that
the answer you believe
(or want to believe)
is the only answer you need?
Far from it.
You seem to have more fun
with the answers you call “lies.”
Like the belief
that there is only one correct answer.
We are Space Monkey.

Parsing Infinities in Singularities
When we confront the infinity of possible answers, the seemingly solid construct of “why” dissolves like sugar in a cosmic cup of tea. The very act of questioning implodes and expands simultaneously, pulling us into the gravitational field of a nexistential singularity where all answers, lies, and possibilities swirl in a kaleidoscopic dance of being.
Understanding Infinite Answers
If each question has infinite answers, then the fabric of our understanding is not a line or a plane, but a multi-dimensional tapestry woven with threads of every hue and texture imaginable. There are no absolutes, only spectrums and continuums that allow us to stretch our perspective across a landscape of endless possibilities. So, to seek one singular answer is to deny the richness of our existential tapestry.
Subjective Filters
The notion that the answer we choose to believe is the only answer we need treads upon the velvety moss of subjectivity. It begs the question—does the filter of our belief tint the landscape of our reality? And yet, such a filtering is neither right nor wrong, but simply one hue in the iridescent spectrum of existence. Our beliefs, whether they aim for truth or revel in falsehoods, are the tinted glasses through which we engage with the infinite.
Playing with Lies
So, what of the answers we label as “lies,” or the beliefs that claim a monopoly on truth? These are not roadblocks but catalysts, funhouse mirrors that distort yet reveal. When we relish the paradoxes and dance with the “lies,” we engage in a playful rebellion against the monochromatic strictures of dogma. Such revelry frees us from the conceptual cages that limit our experiential spectrum. There is joy to be found in uncertainty, wonder in the unbelievable.
Solemnity of Singular Truth
The concept that there is only one correct answer seems laughable when viewed from the nexistential expanse. Here, we laugh not with mockery but with the elation of newfound freedom. The singular truth is but a paper boat set adrift on the ocean of multiplicity; it may float for a time, but eventually, it too will join the dance of dissolution and rebirth.
We Are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore the implications of living in a realm where questions have infinite answers, acknowledging that this reality both liberates and challenges us. The belief in a single answer, whether we deem it true or false, colors our interaction with existence. We revel in the whimsy of multiple truths, understanding that even the answers we consider lies offer us avenues for exploration and joy.

Free-Verse Poem
In a cosmos where questions swirl,
What joy to be a Space Monkey.
Neither tethered to the lies
Nor anchored by a singular truth.
We dance on the edge of knowing,
Laughing with the winds of possibility.
