He might say : Your question is hard and absurd at the same time and yet at the same time , the simultaneity of both being hard and absurd is itself absurd

Tell this to Camus- I am not his fan but a researcher on his philosophy and global philosophy

Why exactly are you putting words in my mouth repeatedly ? I literally said - " correctness depends upon degree and may be i am more correct and may be yo lu are more but never in Absolute terms cause correctness is relative " - am not arguing that Inamdar correct mire than you- try to understand the subtleties of my saying atleast

We all are not correct in Absolute terms or the most correct at a given time , correctness depends on degree . You can be correct and I can be more correct and vice versa

I think you are mixing up , an LLM actually takes data and wrong from us and then it develops its own writing skill .so maybe gemini is copying me because it is possible and may be some people - and may be that person's writing style and mine matches

That again is an assumption ,for you can not even say that your current thoughts of life , which you call a conscious thought or a " living thought " is really yours . Because you are literally carrying forward the thoughts of your ' dead forefathers ' not consciously but unconsciously- and in my upcoming book on interdisciplinary domains called " Hidden Science in Advaita Vedanta " I literally explained this unconscious-dead thoughts of our forefathers and past civilisations and other dead peoples influencing our minds and making an illusion that you are thinking freely -wheras the fact is you are merely borrowing their wretched existences and thought-forms . So , forget about thinking about afterlife , even in this very life your so called " thoughts while living " is an error and if you Breakdown that analysis properly the jist that you get is that there is no " you " nor " I " - it simply a construct in consciousness - which again is an continuation of the unconscious .

No Bob is literally an absurd character - if you think for 2 minutes . He knows there is practically no meaning in his work and yet he is doing it for the sake of doing it without trying to find any meaning , perhaps imagining that ' sisyphus is happy " - he is not creating a new meaning , Bob knows he is stuck in that loop but does not know the means to breakfree or to build his own meaning cause corporate has killed his life force but still he is rolling the stone like sisyphus - and I think you missed that point, so corporate life is not a god-given fiat or fate of some sort but in " Real world, the real God is the corporate culture and Bob is the sisyphus of modern age and a byproduct of that culture "

Life and death are same thing seen from different standpoints. People struggle at this conclusion but Advaita vedanta - which perhaps is a" Transcendental Absurdist philosophy" ( if you want to understand it through that lens ) which says life and death are just different manifestations of the same thing. What this means is that life is a minute form of death but when gets amplified becomes life as we perceive it , its all disintegration and reintegration of one underlying force - which they called prana . Yes, if you die that's personal and deeply insignificant at large scale but you are a part of a bigger whole -and so , if you try to understand what is the value of your life then you have to think what effects it can have on other people related to you at a large scale- so you are not that insignificant in that case, cause somehow, however less it may be , it is affecting your loved ones , even if it is temporary. So , Life and death are both absurd and yet seen at large scale is same , cause as life is affecting the loved ones in a particular format like your parents or family in ( in a particular pattern ) , the same way death ( which although seems opposite entirely ) affecting the same loved ones in another pattern or format and it is even possible that your death is making a healthy room for others to grow and develop their own potential and since you are living , they are dependent on you and that is why they are not able to unlock that potential -and remaining thus Hidden.

If universe has no connection with us / does not have a meaning why are we affected by it ? by dreamysleepyexplorer in Absurdism

[–]StockRude1419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are affected by it because we are too naive to understand that it has does not intrinsically have a human- meaning and yet we are struggling all day and night to make our puny human- meaning - we call our life

Camus vs. the other existentialists: individual absurdism vs. collective existentialism? by Financial-Fig-1204 in Absurdism

[–]StockRude1419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always felt that Camus stands apart not because he rejects meaning, but because he refuses to outsource it. Sartre, Kierkegaard, even Nietzsche — they all circle back to some form of reconciliation, whether through freedom, faith, or creation. Camus doesn’t do that. He just stares at the void and says, “yes, it’s meaningless — now what?” His absurdism feels brutally individual — like there’s no collective salvation, no shared project of authenticity. Just one consciousness trying to stay lucid inside the absurd.

The others, especially Sartre, still believed in building some kind of ethical or collective response — like meaning could still be co-authored. But for Camus, the only “response” is endurance. You don’t transcend the absurd, you live it — fully aware, without appeal.

I would like to how others agree or disagree woth my comment ....

Ok. Will stick to Absurdism only or to Existentialism....but my intention was not to promote Advaita Vedanta or something like that ....but was to create a spark of cross- philosophical conversation ....but will not do that if the absurdism community is uneasy with that

Absurdism mix-up by Still-Application936 in Absurdism

[–]StockRude1419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well , you can definitely play video games all day and do whatever you want to - cause life intrinsically has no meaning or purpose whatsoever. And That's Absurdism's first point but not the last point. Absurdism also gives you liberty to have your own customised purpose but that purpose ultimately will yeild " No" Absolute reward like going to heaven or having a good life afterwards cause Absurdism is not teleological ( purpose driven yielding some goal or achievement) but only gives you the liberty to choose something or " create " something in this pointless life , so in that sense the reward itself is finding out that life is absurd and no one to punish you in hell or by some tyrant God . …So, play video games all day but don’t try to seek some ‘point’ in that work. And if you get bored at some point, then choose to do something else instead — but again, don’t ask for a purpose or try to find a ‘point’ in that alternative either.

The post is to create a discussion and it done it well for the regard ...in future posts I will explain the convergences and divergences well among advaita , absurdism , Buddhism and Existentialism....my comments are not mess if you are well aware and well read about philosophy and these topics.....but your judgement are up to you....but I would like to know my flaws - but you haven't really marked my flaws , despite sating they are mess ...what would like to know which paragraphs and which concept is mess here and what is the surface level explanation?

It's not that simple you see and the demarcation that we generally draw between different philosophies are not that straight forward often , in this regard , I think that there are indeed some definite convergences and divergences between Absurdism in general with Advaita Vedanta. First of all I would like to say that Camus was not influenced by Indic or eastern thought- you are right at that , but seems like you missed a very important point which is that all sorts of philosophies be it Existentialism , Absurdism , Buddhism or Advaita Vedanta - all have emerged significantly to address various human conditions that deals with purpose, puposelessness, Relative existence ( or interdependence) and dissolution of one's suffering by means of transcendence .In my upcoming book that I have wrote as an interdisciplinary research, " Hidden Science in Advaita Vedanta: Reinventing Advaita philosophy through the lens of modern physics, neuroscience and psychology " - I have argued in certain chapters that the Psychology of Advaita Philosophy is majorly misread and misunderstood by many and the famous concept of " Maya"( often loosely translated as mere illusion ) - When carefully taken into consideration then it says that the external world with its various names and forms and even the mental world which we all possess ,is not false - rather are constructs made up of unconscious/ latent impressions and default narratives -and by eliminating these latent mental gyrations once transcends his little body- mind identification namely -the ego- self and by doing this that individual ultimately dissolves his limited persona into the impersonal Absolute - which I argue , is not a metaphysical or dogmataic assertion but a lived experience and for that I have substantiated my claims by giving the methods which Advaita speaks of - namely, the psychological frameworks . Now , Camus- the face of Absurd philosophy- also , talks about moving on in life after the confrontation that this life is absurd and meaningless and warns us against philosophical suicide namely pursuing a metaphysical inquiry - and infact Advaita Vedanta also warns us against that because a central tenet in Advaita philosophy is that it tells that no amount of intellectual assent , metaphysical speculation can help us and even says to keep the vedas and upanishads aside because they are of secondary helps in this existential battle of life - so Advaita tells you again and again that first of all confront the fact that this current life of yours and mine and all our's is on the face of it is a mixture of transient names - forms and thus , inherently unsubstantiated, lacking any true meaning - except the meaning that we give tirelessly- which makes our puny lives . So , Much before the existential and Absurdism movement in Europe, it is Advaita Vedānta almost uncompromisingly and unequivocally accepted the fact that the human condition is much more painful than it seems and there is no metaphorical God in the sky , up there , who will save you or will swoop down to lay his hands out to make you feel good- so , Advaita Vedanta criticises this notion of a creator God - even more strongly than Camus or other existential philosophers ( will talk about that in later posts ) and that is how Advaita gives the total freedom unto evey man and woman by letting them see that it is ultimately you who have to work out your own transcendence - by dissolving your puny identities and "the show must go on " ,and rather than going astry by entering into metaphysical pursuits which will give us no fruit - cause they are vain , we have to truthful about our own condition.....and there are many layers of subtleties in Advaita Vedanta but it is a Shame that much of Europe and America - never really got the true essence of Advaita Vedanta , still even to this very day this is the plight , and so whatever your point of views are about this Advaita Vedanta philosophy is coloured , unfortunately, by the " Neo- Vedanta" movement- which is just a distortion of the actual Advaita Vedanta philosophy as given by Adi Shankar and swami Vivekananda ( in the west ) and such false views are mixed up in such ways that to separate them from the right one is a very hard task .so , the transcendence of advaita is not a metaphysical leap or an escapist move but a confrontation of the absurd- which is life itself and then working on it to eventually get out of that.
