There is too much hating on things on your talk page.

I think perhaps, nihlist, you have missed the point. The fact that life the universe and whatever has no meaning is not in dispute. Certainly not by me. The point of the absurd is how you deal with that knowledge. You either embrace whatever activities you like and embue them with your own subject meaning and passion. The Absurd, in Camus's sense (or at least this is what i got from him) is to create your own purpose, your own meaning, and essentially live your life. Its how most people live their lives. There is nothing abstract about that. It is to stave of nihlism which is essentially a philosphy of despair. My own poor mental health and substance abuse issues are testiment to that.

Not really. My point, and has always been my point, is that it is not enough to say 'there is no meaning, therefore I am nihlist'. The statement is meaningless if everything you say and do says otherwise. Besides. There is no cachet is saying you are a nihlist. Every spotty teenager says they are.

Whatever you want to call me, I don't believe in objective morality, meaning, purpose, etc.
