  • Summary

  • In this episode we discuss the relation between Nihilism and Absurdism. It's not surprising that Absurdism is so popular in Postmodernity. However, I haven't found anyone on the information superhighway - including Wikipedia - who has correctly characterized Absurdism yet. By the end of this episode we'll see that Absurdism is performative. That is to say, Absurdism is performative Nihilism. Nihilism believes it gets reality right. Absurdism believes there is no such thing as "getting reality right." Performative Absurdism doesn't relate to reality with a meaning-making that seeks to be reality-based. In this episode, some topics addressed are: Sisyphus, Capitalism & Schizophrenia, Humanism, Trans-Humanism, and Post-Humanism, Solipsism, the Liar Paradox, Postmodernity, Nihilism, and Absurdism. .
