Once you get over the shock of ridding yourself of magical thinking, and embracing the absurdity of life, once you climb out of that deep hole religion and culture left us in, only then you can enjoy life's gift, in every moment. Thank you for the great lecture.

I was desperately looking for an in-depth discussion on Camus's philosophy concerning the Absurd and his book in general on YT.
I couldn't be more grateful to have found your lecture video. Your deliverance of Camus's philosophy was simultaneously educative and admirably captivating.
Thank you.

Good reference to Fall Out 4.

Not only does becoming an Absurd Person make the world more mysterious, I also feel that once the idea that life is meaningless fully sets in, it is hard to shake it. Even if you tried to commit philosophical suicide it would be difficult because you are constantly questioning and the thoughts would linger.

We are afraid of life. We have no faith in ourselves or our institutions. Our civilisation is eating itself from within. We hate ourselves for all our cowardly compromises. We believe in nothing and relapse into puerile hedonism or fashionable outrage.We despise our bosses and hate our jobs. We feel our lives to be futile and senseless.We are Dostoyevsky's superfluous men. Hello to all of you out there my fellow Absurd Men! Thank you Eric for your lecture. You say difficult things in a simple way - an art in itself. Bukowski's "Hug the Dark" says it better than I do.

Camus is my favorite, because I went through an existential crisis, and this explains kind of what I went through, in one way or another, and offers some kind of substantial understanding for me.

The fact that this type of information exists on the internet for free. Thank you for sharing something powerful and meaningful with the world.

Best lecture on existentialism / Camus I've ever heard. Very succinct and accessible. Cleared up and put in order many ongoing gaps in my understanding, all in in 35 minutes. Kudos to Prof Dodson and West Georgia University from Kansas. I also appreciated the summary as it reinforced a position I had tentatively arrived at.

Thank you so much for making your lectures public - they are incredibly valuable.

thank you for making these and providing them free to everyone. there are very few videos doing deep-dives longer than 15-minute synopses of Camus.

This has to be one of the most engaging lectures I've ever found on youtube. Thank you !

I am in my mid 20 and my philosophical knowledge carving me alive... this is like an intoxication a cheap drug... my super power is i can stare to a wall for hours

Loved this series.. I hadn’t realized as an Absurd Man I often fall into the trap of validating The Absurd by suffering. You helped me see I hadn’t gone as far as Caymus, that is defiance by joy and happiness in the endless struggle and brutal insignificance may be the best use of our absurd middle fingers. Many thanks 🙏.

I go to Northern Kentucky University and I found this video just scrolling through YouTube researching Camus but I would just like to say I really enjoyed your lecture! Your students must be lucky to have you as a teacher.

As someone who has suffered a variety of mental health issues, this philosophy helps me to feel less useless about the time I "lost" or "wasted" during difficult psychological times, because, if I understand this philosophy correctly, at least I got really close to the actual meaning of life. Makes the pain, shame and regret less of a burden for some reason.
