I might miss witnessing WW3 and an actual holokek.

I have only read like four Dostoevsky novels, I'd be ashamed to die just now before finishing them all

Suicide is cringe and I'll die someday anyways.

Suicide is for trannies.

Because killing yourself means you can no longer post about how Camus was a complete hack whose "philosophy" was glorified self-help that failed to answer either pessimism or faith

I'm alive?

>>24554809 (OP)
I act upon reason, not the lack thereof. I’m certain I can rebut any reason you provide for me to kms myself, but there is neither any reason not to.

>>24554809 (OP)
Because Camus proves that it is worth it to enjoy the absurdity of life and create a meaning for yourself within it. The meaning of life is what you make it, and that is the reason to not kill yourself. For me, it would be family and friends, a thirst for knowledge, a desire to read more literature, and a love of video games. There's so much more, but I quite love life and my reasons for living are tied with my own personal meaning I have developed. This should be obvious, because through absurdism you can make your own meaning and find your own reasons not to die, because the world does not need an inherent meaning outside of its absurd nature in order to be worth persisting in.

You should but you can't. Dosto wrote about this. No matter how much you want to die, you still chicken out in the end when you see that boulder coming down on your head.

It's a permanent solution for a temporary problem, try to taste all flavours of life you'll find your way your mind is very powerful just tell it your plans and discipline it and it'll take you there for better or for worse.

It's funny because he actually demonstrated the exact opposite by being miserable and depressed, and ultimately proved to everyone that absurdism is just a cope.

How the fuck do you read Camus and still cling on to the idea of le meaning?

True, I'd recommend suicide for everyone on this planet, because the pain that will come once the chosen start attacking society will be just hell.

Literally the first 30 pages of Myth of Sisyphus

Camus himself being miserable and depressed doesn't disprove absurdism. It just means he himself was unable to find peace through it. I don't mean his life proves it, but rather the application of his ideas in a positive way. i find the core tenets of absurdism to be very positive and uplifting, honestly. Life doesn't need to have an inherent meaning. There is no set purpose. Camus says the literal meaning of life is whatever is keeping you from killing yourself. For me, it's the entire experience of life. Love. Family and friends. Knowledge. Literature. Experiences. Travel. Food. I can name a thousand things I'm grateful for and a thousand reasons to live. I am neither depressed nor miserable. I'm also not French or Algerian, so that probably helps. I've been told I'm a very positive, happy person, and I feel that way. I don't have mental problems, and I have a lot of joy and laugh a lot. And yet, I believe there is no inherent meaning to life, and I am perfectly happy. It's not a cope, it's an acknowledgement of a lack of need for preset meaning.

>>24557056
I'm not saying life has an inherent meaning. I don't think it does. I'm an atheist, so I don't think there's a preset idea of what we should do as ordained by a higher power. Life simply is. It's absurd and crazy and meaningless. However, Camus isn't arguing for you to just wander blithely through life without purpose like a meth zombie. You aren't going to find a meaning in life that is without loopholes. I then conclude it is absurd and needs no meaning, which in and of itself is absurd. And (assuming you are >>24557072) yes, The Myth of Sisyphus does indeed sum up that we overcome the absurd by recognizing that meaning in life is absurd. This is objective meaning, though. We make our own meaning. Our own "literal meaning of life," as Camus put it, prevents our suicide and sustains it. For me, it is such a wide variety of aspects throughout life that make it worth living. We create our own meaning. Our own purpose. Through the acknowledgement of the absurdity of life you are now free to design your own purpose to your needs and life, and make it worth living through your own lens. Meaning isn't overarching, and saying it is means you lock yourself in a cage. I decide to use absurdism as my key to freedom, and open the world in a refreshing and kind way because i know it doesn't need an inherent meaning.

If you kill yourself, evil wins. One's life should be an existence of perpetual revolt and spite against all that is loathsome, ugly and evil.

>>24557072
He changed his views later on his writing career; Sisyphus is just his starting point; The Stranger is a reaction against the absurd which ends in indifference, while Caligula is a reaction against the absurd which ends in obsession. Finally, The Plague is a reaction to the absurd which ends in solidarity, hence ending his nihilistic phase to enter a humanist existentialist phase from him. Existentialism's basic premise is to make a meaning in your life even though life lacks any intrinsic meaning by itself. Yes, I took a Camus course in university.

>Camus himself being miserable and depressed doesn't disprove absurdism.
Why doesn't it? Camus himself presented absurdism as a viable alternative, or evolution if you will, of existential nihilism. Since nihilism (thus absurdism) ultimately rejects true knowledge is possible, it could only ever be experienced.
>i find the core tenets of absurdism to be very positive and uplifting, honestly.
>Life doesn't need to have an inherent meaning. There is no set purpose. Camus says the literal meaning of life is whatever is keeping you from killing yourself.
This is not positive or uplifting.
>For me, it's [blah blah blah]
If these things initially satisfied you, you'd never need to discover "absurdism" to begin with.

I don’t want to.

>>24557541
you actively do actions with the intention of staying alive everyday so you must answer that with a good reason

>>24558254
if you eat, drink and sleep solely to prevent death you might as well kill yourself

>>24558310
but that's why you eat and drink everyday. you don't have a choice in skipping those activities

>>24558383
maybe thats why you do it and i already gave you advice of coping with that
also the entire premise of this thread is stupid, it turns a base level human instinct into something to be debated
the anomaly is not seeking out those things, even if you dont find a deeper meaning or use in them, which raises questions about the intention behind this thread - are you looking for reasons to hang on or are you trying to drag people into the abyss?
