Episode  

So excellent! Well, gotta get back to boulder pushing. see ya later!

Camus seems like a pretty swell guy.

I love Camus! It feels like he was talking to me when he heard me talking to myself in those lonely nights.

Man I am so glad I found your channel.. these videos deserve so many more views.. thank you really

Stephen West has a very beautiful talking voice. (I do not know what he sounds like when singing.) It is aesthetically pleasing to my ears. At the end of this podcast he says Camus says we should enjoy the little pleasures of life. I will go along with this and commit to enjoying Stephen West's pleasant voice.

I am so glad that some of this absurdity made me found you and this awesome channel.

Absurdism is born between this conflict of human need and immeasurable silence in the world.

Too clear and to the point. Fantastic

Blessed are the truthsayers ... and there is no greater truthsayer than Camus. Clever summary of this great man's beliefs.

I really really love your work, Mr West !

I love Camus, thanks for your concise summary. You have also put me onto Simone as well which is great. I am really enjoying your series.

Hey, I would like to add spanish subtitles to this episode (since the auto-translate option is not very good... and i'd like to share this with my friends). I think you have to allow that in your youtube preferences. Greetings from Mexico.

Love this, why isn't more people listening??

I will recommend your channel to my friends

Amazing channel and a really great episode :) thank you for your work! it is very nice to listen to this podcast - you have a talent for making such shows :)

this episode was amazing! Thank you so much!

I enjoyed this a lot. Thank you.

one becomes greater than it by accepting it - then one can move through it, learn from it and through it until then, one is limited in its direction... accept it, it's less of a battle than you might think. if there's one sentiment that has been crucial to me through my own meditations it is that one does not have to firmly believe something as it seems in order to accept it, a thing does not have to be reasonable or rational to accept it and just because you accept it, doesn't mean that by doing so you make it completely true; it just means you accept the irrational - and that's when the rational starts emerging

this show is great

And all you see is where else you could be When you're at home Out on the street are so many possibilities To not be alone

Great post

Man I don’t know you but you would be a good friend of mine. I’ll try to pitch in. These videos are really important. There, done. Thank you 🙏.

in other words "embrace the suck" lol

Bryan callen/Joe Rogan put me on.

Quite epic

Great!!!

I've made some videos with snippets of this this podcast over some nice nature videos and chill music if anyone wants to check them out! I'm getting into video editing and these podcasts (well especially the ones about existentialism) always make me feel better about life, they're just like 2 minutes long and take the main points :)

can anyone link the written form of this podcast ?

You pass butter

Brian Callen put me on

what is "meaning"?

Thoughts at this episode are too much close to Epicurian greek school. Essenteally the same I'd say.

So Camus first carefully builds up the idea of Philosophical suicide to then indulge in one of the many countless forms of that very Philosophical suicide? Isn't 'enjoying the little things in life' essentially just another form of Philosophical suicide? The whole arc of the Sisyphean Myth has a very anticlimactic conclusion in my opinion. To me it feels like Camus was aiming for something much darker, grim and real but in the last moments decided to bestow his readers with a false sentiment. I think Camus' true philosophy is best presented at the end of 'The Outsider' when Meursault comes to terms with the absurdity of his existence without any false consolations.

You sound like #KelseyGrammer!
