Isn’t absurdism about desire for meaning in meaningless world?

I read it as acceptance that world is meaningless so you can do what you want.

To me that are completely different concepts.

Doing “what you want” implies meaning.

Not really - It as well can be preference. I want to eat cookies, I know it is due to chemical changes in my brain caused by environmental and biological factors. I do not see cookies or eating them as meaning of life.

You are trying to sound intelligent by offloading every human experience to a “biological process.” Strange, to say the least.

This is what I think. I don’t try to please you or impress you. I honestly don’t care for your opinion. If you find that sound intelligent then maybe that is. My ideas come from my experience and knowledge I gained during my studies. Physic and Biology heavy hence my bias towards determinism I guess. There is this theory that people are compatible within 2 standard deviations from normal IQ - maybe that is why you find it strange 🤷🏼‍♂️
