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.

Had to scroll pretty far to find this comment…

I hope this is AI generated.

Try written to-do lists. Crossing them off feels great.

Bonus tip: add “sexy time” (or whatever you all call it) to the list

Yes but it doesn’t hurt to play that game.

Honestly think it was more social than religious or philosophical.

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

…but yeah Brian’s books are…mediocre fanfic at best…

Well feel free to dig right in!

I had this problem as well on the mobile web page. It worked from desktop mode.

It’s like email. You have an account on one server and can post to communities on that server. But you can also post to communities on other servers unless they are blocked.

Same way a Gmail user can send emails to other Gmail users but can also send emails to Hotmail users or any other email server user (unless they are blocked).

It’s really no more complicated than that

Not to that extent, but yea.

Maybe because posting here seems less like shouting into the void? I get replies to most of my posts and comments. Way more engagement.
