Philosophy of Tagging: An Exercise in Postmodern Futility

Tagging as a Means to an End (or is it just an End in itself?)

Tagging, the art of assigning arbitrary labels to arbitrary things. A futile attempt to impose meaning onto a meaningless world. Or is it?

Is the purpose of tagging to find meaning, or to create meaning where none exists? A question for the ages, and also a question for this page.

Some argue that tagging is a means to an end, a way to find order in a chaotic world. Others claim it's just a never-ending cycle of arbitrary labels and meaningless tags.

But what if we take it a step further? What if tagging is not just a means to an end, but the end itself? A self-sustaining cycle of meaninglessness, where the only purpose is to exist?
