It turns out I greatly misunderstood that Camus essay, and syphilis is not a myth 😩

by Santiago Ramos

"Another existentialist, Martin , said that human beings spend most of their lives in a default state of 'average everydayness,' going from one unthinking task to the next. ... As Albert put it, 'At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any [Barbie or Ken] in the face.' When that happens, Barbie learns the main truth of her existence: she is 'being-toward-death.'"

Think often of and his book The Stranger - how the lead character Meursault seems very familiar to me. His supposed inappropriate responses, his tendency to go with the flow, his ambivalence. Critics like to speak of Camus' focus on "the absurd", but if you've ever felt like The Stranger, you know the randomness of life and the judgemental nature of humankind are very real.

Way back in 1945 when truth still existed, and almost met one day. They had different political views, but both believed "that truthfulness was more important than ideological allegiance and metaphysics."

Albert reckons that "as a creator, is, for example, at the furthest possible remove from ". A newly discovered manuscript casts some doubt on this thesis.

@emilyherring Oh please oh please I hope you’re telling the truth, because I didn’t think I could love even more until this very moment. 😂

Existentialist : I have always been a big fan of Albert . There's something particularly liberating about knowing there's no cosmic plan for your life and being able to find meaning in whatever brings you joy.

Political Philosophy: I'm intrigued by John , , and Betrand .

Personal Philosophy: 's focus on habituation and its relationship to one's own character have been life changing for me. "Fake it until you make it" is the essence of my life.

On ’ 109th an article I wrote about “The Outsider”:
“Through the obstinate life of its narrator Meursault, the novel displays the inarticulateness between an individual consciousness and the world, an impediment between an emerging self and the hypocritical, conspiring society which surrounds it. “
