[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3733913, member: 63706"] I have seen another video they did about the subject. I did not see a part in this one where they say absurdity is meaningless. My views line up more with the absurd hero they explain in this video, as I tend to reject pure existentialism. You can argue that we make our own meaning, but I would argue, how would you know you were creating it? Camus' answer to the meaninglessness of life is to learn to be happy with meaninglessness, but that is more of a defeatist attitude. Though it may be fine for the weak spirited, it does not inspire striving for something greater than ourselves. I guess you could say consumerism would be a way to learn to be happy with meaninglessness, but, in my experience, consumerism doesn't lead to happiness at all. [/QUOTE]
