Yeah, Camus was more of an author than a philosopher. Really no point treating his retarded branch of existentialism seriously.

Yes, he undermined Christian values and degeneracy. At least Nietzche sought to find greater positive meaning and purpose after realizing nihilism was cancerous.

Karma at its finest. I hate to say it but God punishes those who deserve it.

The Myth of Sisyphus isn't exactly wrong, its just a REALLY weak argument in favor of absurdism, and consequentially a weak defense against suicide even though Camus was right to criticize armchair nihilists who advocated complete dissociation with reality from a position of comfort and rank (as had most schools of Classical philosophy criticized the Epicureans).

"We must consider Sisyphus happy"
Why must? 'Should' can be demonstrated by simple ethics, but necessity cannot be imparted without a value system and internal logic, both of which the existentialist and absurdists accepted as nonentities.

Yeah just do loads of shit since human experiences are really the only thing that matters I guess. Quantity over quality since you got limited time. Just keep doing whatever till you die, but the more stuff the better.

everywhere, Camus main political cause was fighting against death penalty, which he thought led to accepting all sort of massacres in the XX-century. Read The Rebel, it's a decent book attempting to defend a type of Kantian ethics.

well there's more coffee breaks, but that's about it.
