Camus' "the only serious philosophical question is that of suicide" is something like the P≠NP proposition of philosophy == "Choosing life is better than choosing death". Most people assume it is true and move along to other questions. Few work on the proposition itself.

Are you sure it was Camus? I thought this is more or less what what Red was saying to Andy Dufresne.

They musta gotten it from Camus then. It's the probably the most famous opening line in philosophy https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/camus/

Sarcasm fail. I know it was Camus--I never connected it to the Shawshank Redemption until I read your initial tweet.
