Consider the function f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 1, which represents a parabolic curve opening upwards. We want to find the minimum value of this function.

To do this, we can use calculus by finding the derivative of f(x) with respect to x:

f'(x) = 2x - 2

Setting f'(x) equal to zero and solving for x, we get:

2x - 2 = 0
x = 1

So the critical point of f(x) is x = 1.

To determine whether this is a minimum or maximum, we can take the second derivative of f(x):

f''(x) = 2

Since f''(x) is positive for all x, we know that the critical point x = 1 corresponds to a minimum value of f(x).

However, the cosmic joke lies in the fact that the minimum value of f(x) is 0, which occurs when x = 1. In other words, the function representing this parabolic curve dips down to touch the x-axis at x = 1, as if mocking our attempts to find a true minimum value.

So the math problem is:

Find the minimum value of f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 1 using calculus, only to realize that the cosmic joke of existence is that the minimum value is zero, as if the function is mocking our attempts to find a true minimum.
