Pre-Point 1: Commitments are good! Being able to semi-arbitrarily commit to things is a huge superpower

I’d say “asking for a friend” but it’s pretty obvious that’s not the case sorry

Camus’ Sisyphus? That rock-rolling was either the best commitment ever or the best kind of suicide procrastination. I can’t make up my mind which. He did put Death in chains to bring that punishment down on himself

Camus has very strange ideas about how to avoid suicide and ignorance that aren’t informed by evolution

for instance he thinks we should live every moment in awareness of the inevitability of death which seems scientifically implausible

Yesss!! Do a Camus takedown. It’s absurd that he’s gone unchallenged so long.
