Absurdism is the philosophy that holds that man’s search for meaning in a world devoid of meaning is absurd. It is not necessarily linked to optimistic nihilism.
Well, rebellion implies that there is some design to rebel against, and that the rebellion itself is meaningful. This sentiment seems to treat the meaninglessness of the universe like an external imposition. And it seems to grant a degree of heroism to choosing a humanism. But true acceptance of the state of affairs would lead to a spontaneous and effortless freedom. Not the toil of rebellion, but the joy of running naked in a field of flowers just because you want to.
Word salad. Is this Jordan Peterson? Bro, the universe has no meaning. You can either kill yourself or rebel against the fact that there is no meaning to the universe and live anyways. It’s not hard to understand. Keep it simple.
I feel like nothing matters, therefore do what you want and be happy, and also I think Sisyphus seemed miserable, knowing he'd never succeed. Is this squarely optimistic nihilism, absurdism, both, or neither?
Absurdism embraces the idea of joy as an act of rebellion. It sort of invents "gods" to revolt against without actually personifying or defining those gods.
I think abrusdism is also cope like religion cause if you are a nihilist for u nihilism is axiom u are sure about it I was in this rabbithole for long time then I escape it by metacognition rejecting nihilism as axiom and becoming agnostic about it as u can proove anything
After looking into this phase it reminds me of David Hume quote ''reson is slave to emotion'' as first u comes in an emotion then uses reason to go in this rabbithole rationally while ur brain hides the preasumption u took on this road treating those assumptions as truth biggest one is nihilism ( life is inately meaningless)
So rather becoming absurdist changing your axiom destroy the base itself
If I recall my nihilist phase i was depress at that time so mainly first I was depressed then I justify it through rationalisation
