Yeah but without your comment I wouldn’t have posted mine!

Eh… it’s not that we’re trying to create meaning in the face of the absurd. The absurd is is the condition arising from the contrast between a human need for order and meaning on one side, and a lack of order and meaning (or lack of ability to grasp the order and meaning) on the other… and it’s this absurdity that defines the human condition. And we should embrace it.

Honestly someone who spends their whole life searching for a universal morality could very well be embracing absurdism as well.

I also feel that the positivity surrounding absurdity comes from the fact that the absurd is the struggle (roughly between a desire and search for order and meaning) and the struggle is the human condition. And once you think about the struggle-not as something to overcome or win-but as the basic defining characteristic of humanity… you start to view the whole thing positively.

Kinda, but also the core of the absurdity is the contrast between the human need for meaning and order - and the inherent inability to find and create it ultimately. And as an added flavor, this absurdity is the main definition of the human condition. It’s not exactly enjoying pseudo-meanings. It’s enjoying the absurdity.

Recommend: the myth of sisyphus by camus. I believe you can find a full pdf of it online on some university website or another.

This is actually not a terrible flyer tbh.

Now if it said “won’t quit after 2 weeks just because I wasn’t paying them” or something…
