Absurd

Face to face with the absurdity of life
This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.“ — Albert Camus, book The Myth of Sisyphus The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), An Absurd Reasoning Context: What, then, is that incalculable feeling that deprives the mind of the sleep necessary to life? A world that can be explained even with bad reasons is a familiar world. But, on the other hand, in a universe suddenly divested of illusions and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land. This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity
this divorce also generates alienation
Internal forces to generate this divorce- bad faith – when our actions point away from the direction we think we are heading to
External- non personal world of algorithms and AI
Are there any answers “ the explanations” are mostly explanations with “bad reasons”
These are “ shared delusions” of the masses to stay insulated from the stark blinding light of reality- the payoff is big “ we can keep our stories”- remember the first time when you realized that secret Santa was “ your parents” and “ tooth ferry “ didn’t exist – it was a loss – suddenly the “ world” lost some of its charm
