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.

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