[@2Sor2Fig]

11:00 - I like how you touched on the repetitiveness of human life. Looking back on my atheistic journey, one of the first things I threw out was the belief that scheduling and planning your life down to the minute was fruitful. I've always had insomnia (specifically, it took me maybe 1-2hrs of lying in bed to actually fall asleep, and if anything disturbed it and awoke me, it was impossible to fall back in again, so I never slept more than 3-4 hrs). Eventually, I decided that if I wish to place meaning in a meaningless schedule, the only one that matters is my own. 12 years later, I'm a self-employed farmer and programmer. Best of all when I sleep, I actually dream. Took a while to realize that what prevented me from sleep was the anxiety associated with trying to fit into a box I didn't want to be in, and the simple solution was... don't.

[@plainperson7033]

Camus must be the one of the most important philosopher if not the most important, at least in my life. Everyone should read the myth of Sisyphus once in their lives. The idea of realizing that life is meaningless is easy and natural, but the resolve to live against it and not commit suicide or die a philosophical death is what makes his thoughts really a masterpiece. He was a genius of man made by his circumstances, and if you're reading this do yourself a favor and read his works, trust me. As for me, I've done my work here. Great video, salute my friend. I really wanted to know the history of this spectacular mind and you cleared it all and also related him to his books. And for that I thank you.

[@Williamb612]

Life being meaningless or meaningful is a human mental construct…Camus’s quest for freedom is the freedom from his mind which was shackled ironically by his mental brilliance…Camus is over rated Let’s stop discussing whether something has meaning or not, both meaning and meaninglessness are quests to find meaning…meaning in meaningless and meaning in meaningfulness Real freedom lies in liberating oneself from the mind and creating, producing, doing, being, rather than the inertia of thinking about it. You are, whether you think about it or not

We studied fragments from The Fall in our French pragmatics class and they were so intriguing. I read The Stranger, but it wasn't as good as I expected. Hopefully, after reading his other works, my view on him will change. I really liked his ideas, though, and we're both fans of Dostoevsky, so maybe, we'll become firends soemday. He seems to be a cool guy! Great video!

[@sarmadchandio1420]

I have read many books on science, fiction, politics, philosophy and history. But when a drop of existentialism damped on my tongue! It amazed me with an unknown pain, the pain just tore me into pieces. And it all starts when I read "The Fall", a book by Albert Camus. After getting much deeper into Camus's books, I suddenly met with a change. I don't know why all my tears were converted into well-known laughs. I just want to share only a quote by Albert Camus “At a certain level of suffering or injustice, no one can do anything for anyone. Pain is solitary.”

[@user-uy4jc3zz5p]

[@cond.oriano7083]

Would really recommend reading the original french translation for l’Étranger if you can read french. The intricacy of meursault’s character and of Camus’ writing is lost in translation, so you can only really go skin deep into the philosophy of the novel when it’s written in English. Still a good book to read nonetheless, one of my favourites regardless of the language it’s written in.

[@deepeka134]

One of my friends read that and he says he is like mersault. He says he'll be however he wants and the world shouldn't bother him or ask him why he is like that. Some people are just straight up shooting the book to their ego. They think being an emotionally distant prick is some ideal. Being like that is different from aspiring to be that.

In college I of course was intoduced to Camus and Kafka. I hated both passionately. In class I found myself hostile. I was in expensive college… I was paying big bucks for this Camus crap? I was not interested in any kind of personal enfranchisement. As a handicapped person I already learned from parents , others I ain’t nothing. I had gotten used to this feedback where ever I went. What was I to do? Cast aside years of acquiescence to my situation and find a new existence, a new self? Oh BS! All folks had to do was look at me to completely demolish any smart ass idea about myself in the universe. Screw that crap. I know the profs would say I had already found myself as living a life if she!!t. I had already adapted Camus without realizing it and proved Camus wise. I am not impressed.
