Hm, Absurdity is an interesting concept, M. Camus. Thank you for posting it to HN, I have looked through the docs and I got curious.

How does it compare with Buddhism of Siddharta Guatama and the preceding buddhas, or Stoicism by Zeno? I have been a big fan of Stoicism 2.0 by Marcus Aurelius. Why should one continue to download and install Absurdity? Can anyone who’s been running Absurdity in production do a comparison of its features vs the existing philosophies ..

The SEP article on Camus will answer most questions wrt Camus, absurdity[0].

He was a racist and someone who didn't quite understand Buddhism and ended up writing rants about being bored and how much he didn't care for it
