I think we suffer when we search for meaning. Albert Camus got it right, the universe is devoid of meaning.

+1 I came here to say the same thing. I find much to like in Camus’ philosophy of Absurdism, and a lot I don’t agree with. There are several really good videos on YouTube on Absurdism, enjoyable stuff.

Off topic, but I really like the author’s use of Substack and I just subscribed to their channel. For 30+ years I manually edited HTML for my web site and just a week ago switched my personal domain [1] to Substack (copying over 2000+ old blog articles) and so far I really love the platform even though I am just learning to use it.

What is that you do not agree with in Absurdism?

I am deeply spiritual, meditate a lot, etc., which is not 100% aligned with Absurdism. That said, I watched just about everything on Absurdism that I could find on YouTube.
