This philosophy has come in many ways for me, I get that it is natural but, it is naturally absurd to me, and naturally we cannot take life too seriously that includes this way of thought.

Camus seems to deconstruct the is-ought paradox by finding some meaning in life by espousing aesthetics with a measure, a dash of measured enlightenment rationalism.

Yes!!! that’s it

_The matrix of the spirit is the primeval dark night of the soul. Into the black depression comes the sudden fiery appearance of lightning which turns everything on its head and such do all things come into being._ _suggested reading: Dark Night of the Soul by St John of the Cross. For someone like you, it is completely essential that you understand the purpose of this purging.... And, A Course In Miracles, written by jesus, believe it or not. It deals with the two systems of thought in creation, God and the ego, which are in diametrical opposition to one another. Also, the Ra Material. Ra is the extra terrestrial who built the Giza pyramid. They live on the sun in the sixth dimension, lol. (Truth is stranger than fiction my friend). Perhaps also The emerald tablets of both the atlantean. These latter three texts were written not by humans. The reason you suffer is because you are a spiritual being and you are being called._ "The only pain you feel is the love you withhold".

Indeed. You can't go wrong with Camus. I first met him at 17, I'm 71 today, and he's bailed me out more than once for sure. Take care my friend!

Totally agree

People are too stupid to live without religion. You aren’t (it doesn’t appear) and I can do without religion, and I might be dumb, but I’m nothing like ninety percent of the people in 2021, I may as well be Aristotle compared to most people today. The average person needs to stay the hell way from philosophy. Why? Look at academia, and the idiots they manufacture. Again, perhaps this guy is ok; this is my first time watching him, and he seems okay. But that fact is, I know so many people who went into college pretty smart, smarter than me, and came out with basically no sense at all. Just look around you. I hated religion, but it seems more and more that the religious make up a good part of the minority that actually have sense still. All is inverted.

The irony of Camus adopting ontological absurdity as his starting point is that he, like Nietzsche, answer ultimate questions like ethics with Don Juan aesthetics which is itself a form of philosophical suicide unresolved.

@@FuckKZfaq1776 you have a superiority complex lol. Some of the most influential scientists and thinks believer in "magical" things. It's part of human culture and society. Do you really think you're smarter than Einstein, who was Jewish, or Mendel who was a Christian monk? I'm agnostic, but wow. Some self awareness is desperately needed in your life.

@@simpsonlover100 I’m atheist, and i agree this guy has a complex lol

Thanks I love Camus , Florenskij and he absurd , I think he was surely one of the most influential intellectuals and indipendentist man , as I think and suppose. Probably I 'm wrong .

I agree somewhat, though you can go they way of secular philosophical suicide he mentioned, essentially distracting your mind. I think once you have seen The Absurd if you do not find a way to accept it you will either commit philosophical suicide of a different nature than before or risk physical suicide.

Raymond and Andrea, that has exactly been my predicament and I was constantly questioning it. But now that you have put it here, I feel validated, I mean, my thoughts are validated. The predicament isn't over though but I am feeling better.

Ha ha... thanks for getting the reference. Here's another metaphor for philosophical suicide, straight from the Great Green Jewel of the Commonwealth: "Don't let the stress of life kill you... relax with some chem's... "

I laughed my ass off when I heard that, anyone wanna go to New Vegas?

It’s great to begin the day with an existential crisis, defeat it and then get along with things. Repeat often.

hello

Thanks, Juan.... y muchas gracias por mirar mi video, y por comentar tambien. Agradecimiento. Eric D.

@@EricDodsonLectures dam bro you didnt have to duo lingo him based on the name

@@smellslikeus it's okay dude, people love it when others speak their language, you really can connect with people that way in ways if you spoke another language it won't just have the same affect

@@smellslikeus JAJAJAJAJA

Well, I'd say that the ability to focus on something for a long period of time *is* a kind of super-power. In any case, good luck with your journey into the terrain of philosophy. Eric D.

Josh same here bro.

...And feel like I was busy as fuck and need to sleep like I worked construction all day. I get it.

I have the new ability to not sleep and sit as still as a rock. I can make 30 minute brownies in 20 minutes. I can take out a spider , w a triscut at about 20 yards , tho I wouldn’t. None of these things bring any satisfaction at this point.

Abid Wani, But why does he take 20 minutes to say what he thinks before telling me what Camus is saying about constructive responses to life's absurdity?

@@jabel6434 Because he's not just quoting Camus verbatim, he's giving his own interpretation as well.

--this is furthered by our economic system which commodofies everything into mere objects, commodities to be bought and sold. Things we originally couldn't have even imagined putting a price tag on now have a value set so arbitrarily yet instills to the rest of society that that value is what is the natural state of the world, that it is truth. This extends to our labor, our lives, and nature. It extends into the environment being seen as nothing more than dead weight for us to carve and extract resources from, fossil fuels to burn, sees human relationships outside of your basic circle as nothing more than relationships to further your ends economically, alienating oneself from themselves, the rest of society, and from nature. The value was once set by something as insignificant as paper money which due to being the measurement of value, became our god. Yet even from there it has gotten to the point where not even the material is the measure of it anymore, and money itself can be completely digital without needing to actually take any material shape

It should be quite the opposite, honestly, so I think you're looking at things the wrong way. The more education you receive, the less ordinary things are in your eyes, since you partialy understand the complexity of everything that exists. True magic begins with knowledge.

Teological redemption is important according to me as trascendence and other interesting not so much cause I m not a mystic but interested in Eliade studies and De Martino . Thanks to prof. Peterson he is a great researcher in this topics.

Where did you get an audio version from? I can't find one anywhere.

I must be listening to a different video as this audio sucks... Literally, listen to the sound of the smacking, lip kissin, swalling and at once it can't be ignored. The gerenrral background noise that rises and falls within the initiation does nothing much to distract. Am I unfocused.. Uhmmm maybe!

Camus did not like being termed an existentialist.

@@rogercarroll2551 nor would he appreciate being associated with the word " god send"

@@shaggystone6397 I was being funny.

@@rogercarroll2551 I recant. Would it be more appropriate to say 'examiner of existentialism'?

Sorry you are experiencing that. How do you maintain your desire to keep living? By asking that I'm not suggesting that you end your life. I hope you can maintain that. Do you have a religious faith? What drives you?

You can find the essay on google. Its called Myth of Sisyphus (essay). Essay not the book.

great inquiry

Well, you can start with The Stranger by Camus and then read philosophers like Neitzsche, Soren Kierkegaard and Sartre. Moreover, Dostoevsky will also help in psychological issues(Crime and Punishment).
