One must imagine Sisyphus happy. By sisyphus accepting his punishment he became happy. By us accepting the absurd we go in accordance with it and in a way form a relationship with meaningless and somehow make our own subjective meaning. Sounds absurd but it's meaningless to ponder on it. Just act.

Whoever wrote this video didn't do their research. "Life has no meaning," is called Nihilism, not Absurdism. Absurdism is a philosophy that accepts humanity can't find a logical basis for meaning, even though finding things meaningful is an inevitable part of human life. So absurdists say to accept the absurdity of the situation and simply live a meaningful life WITHOUT justifying it logically. The word "absurd" means "something that is illogical or irrational." So Absurdists decide to be absurd: they live a meaningful life even though they have no way to describe that meaning with logic. Personally, I don't see any difference between Absurdism and Existentialism. In both cases they embrace meaning and purpose for human life, even in the absence of rationality and logic. Nihilism is fundamentally different because it rejects meaning altogether as an illogical construct and a fabrication from human emotions.

Woah, finally! How did I not know about this? I’ve been told I’m an existentialist, I’ve been told I’m a nihilist. I just kinda thought I was atheist. Turns out, it’s absurdism. Who knew? I feel like this information is literally what I’ve been trying to explain when I’m asked about being atheism. Like could be verbatim. I.did.not.know.this.was.a.thing. I’m gonna check out Camus.

1:35 were those stripped blue graphics on the screen placed on purpose as a reference to Camus' Stranger?

Wow, I've been saying, "nothing matters, and that's awesome" for so long, didn't even know about absurdism.
