On one level it is humorous, ridiculous and absurd. On another level it is scary.

... the more I learned, the more conscious did I become of the fact that I was ridiculous. So that for me my years of hard work at the university seem in the end to have existed for the sole purpose of demonstrating and proving to me, the more deeply engrossed I became in my studies, that I was an utterly absurd person.

One can hardly imagine a more ridiculous and absurd interpretation.

It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.

It's carrying the reasoning to a somewhat ridiculous level.

But not one that's scary.
