People's egos start to develop when they are quite young. As they get older and dream of doing difficult things they are confronted with a painful mismatch between their assessment of their self and their inability to reach their goals. This makes the task of accomplishing their dream doubly difficult as it becomes personally painful and disorienting. Some people with very powerful minds find that the same power that propelled them so far at first can become redirected at these and other inconsistencies. It's a bit of a setup, isn't it?

The Butlerian Jihad is Frank Herbert escaping the Frankenstein’s Monster trap that so much sci-fi thoughtlessly falls into and instead embraces the truth that even if our technology becomes oppressive it is because it is fulfilling tasks that we have programmed it to perform.

Though I disagree with your conclusions on ideology - in fact real socialism as practised in worker collectives is deeply liberating and empowering to the individual - I think your praise of Camus is well-deserved. If he'd lived longer, he no doubt would have joined with Frantz Fanon, another victim of cancer at a young age.

Camus did not practice decency or solidarity with his wife Francine. Camus’ cruel infidelities with other women drove his wife to depression & suicide attempts. Miguel de Unamuno is, I think, a similar philosophical guide with more integrity & coherence.

thank you for reminding me that camus is from algeria. i find it so interesting how that seems to get forgotten in discussions of him. also, thank you for introducing me to this movie which i'd never heard of! shame really. at first i thought your title was meant to be ironic in some way and i hoped that decency wasn't going to be dismissed so i'm glad i stayed. but also it reminds me of a school of life video about politeness, for some reason, something about not needing to know all the ins and out of a situation but to treat other people with dignity and respect.

Camus never "celebrated" loneliness and estrangement, it was precisely the existential crisis haunted him and drove him to propose that "suicide is the only one really serious philosophical problem". His initial answer was to revolt against this situation, hence "One must imagine Sisyphus happy". In other words, Man in the Absurd must be happy, not because loneliness must be celebrated, but because Man must revolt against the situation, and be happy about this revolt. But simply revolt is not enough, as Zizek once asked: what is it like the second morning after the success of the Revolution? And Camus' later thinking is more an answer to this question of his youth than a "transformation".

I saw Camus and was immediately interested. It was the subtitle though. That really got me fascinated because I love the word decency. I think it's the most practical thing a person can be if they're trying to make the world a better place is just decent and how absolutely impractical that can seem to so many others when they see it happen.
