Well, I can't say anything about the "value" of reality, I think the concept of value is very subjective and inconsequential.
All I am proposing is this, I believe we ("we" as in pertaining to all living entities with functioning sensory apparatuses and maybe even going as far as having cognisant abilities) are reality. the cosmos (all and everything) is nothing more than information, and information is absolutely nothing without something to process it. The abstract concept of "meaning"" is inconsequential if there are no living entities to process the information. In theory, the last living entity to ever exist in the universe will be the last life-line of reality itself, but not the cosmos. One is a concept that can only exist with living beings, the latter is just information with mysterious origins.

How does this apply with Camus? Well if my beliefs are true, why is reality absurd? If we are reality why do we beckon to the cosmos, which is just the data we are being fed through our eyes and ears and nose? Creating your own meaning is not in rebelling against meaninglessness, having a meaning is simply a past-time of a living beings consciousness, if it be your own or someone else's.

Dore is amazing. I have a print of "Satan enters the garden of Eden as a serpent" on my wall. Not sure if that's the real title.. Anyway here's some N. C. Wyeth.
