These white people's obsession with mathematics as the arbiter of some kind of unambiguous absolute truth is because, if they can reduce all questions about reality to axiomatic answers, then they believe they will have obsoleted the need to ever hear from people of color again

Camus says he wasn't existentialist, he was absurdist (I am not arguing, I am sharing information). Existentialism created meaning from meaninglessness, absurdism was "okay but what if there IS no meaning, should we keep going?" It's not just in their shadow, it's in their face

He says the essence of the absurd condition is that you simultaneously *know* there is no meaning and that we're all just fuckin atoms doing random shit - but also that you *want* there to be meaning. You don't give in to nihilism or existentialism, you hover on that edge
