CW: On Being Alone: Life, Illness, Death
My wife’s cousin, 70 years old, was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and had surgery to remove it two days later. I do not know him well. He resides far away in another part of the country. My wife is getting updates by text message. We are still waiting for biopsy results which we are told may take two weeks. I have been struck many times by how fundamentally alone all of us are when we go through things. In this case we bystanders might awkwardly express our hopes for recovery, perhaps pray for a miracle that is unlikely to come if the tumor is revealed to be a glioblastoma, offer more prayers and condolences if decline and a funeral are what come next, and then quickly move on with our absurd but busy lives until it is our turn to face the inevitable end. It is not the idea of non-existence that troubles me; it is the process that I don’t like. Maybe it is better to disappear privately in seclusion like birds and some humans seem to do. After we know more, I might write him a letter, taking time to express my admiration for him and his family, including three adult children who seem like good people.

Camus should be immune to the anti-life equation, right?
It's a mathematical proof that life is meaningless because none of your choices matter. Thus, you should surrender your will to Darkseid.
Camus already knows that. But he knows the only logical response is revolt against the absurd. #DCComics #Philosophy #Absurdism -
Wonderment Within Weirdness Has Something a Lot of Media Is Missing: Heart
There’s a lot of media out there today that looks incredible on the surface. Big budgets. Huge stakes. Flashy action. Multiverse-level chaos. But for all the spectacle, something often feels… off. Empty, even. Like it’s all noise without meaning. That’s where Wonderment Within Weirdness stands apart. And no, this isn’t me gassing myself up. This is me recognizing something I didn’t fully see at first: beneath all the absurdity, the chaos, the wild set pieces, and the multiverse […] -

I had to sanction an LLM. I took names and wrote about it. 🧐
👉 https://philosophics.blog/2026/02/15/advantagement-and-modelment/?utm_source=masto&utm_medium=social
I asked NotebookLM to summarise a short story, and it fabricated details and introduced logic problems. Does this happen to you?

@jlou @ambiguous_yelp @log I also hope so, but given that their account includes #absurdism and they mix flawed moral philosophy with claims to being a part fungal cryptid, I think we can count them as at least unserious.
By harmony I wanted to imply that I can’t know others’ subjectivity. While I won’t eat animals (or have kids) I know other people that feel physically ill without ingesting meat or utterly despairing at the idea of not parenting. (1/2)

I’m An Unserious Absurd Imp
So I’m basically a very unserious little devilish imp. I’m too sophisticated, sly, and uppity to be a goblin. I’m very intelligent—but I’m also probably trolling you. I treat everything in life like a game.
You’ll live longer and be a lot happier if you treat nothing as real. Dear God, people are losing their ever-loving marbles taking their metaphysical assumptions about how things ought to be way too seriously instead of embracing the absurdity that is life. I am me and you are you for no reason at all. I’m not metaphysically committed to anything except my husband. Everything else is pretty much a game to me.

Hey folks :FediverseSymbol:
We're sorry that so many of you are also struggling in different ways 🥺😔
We don't imagine there's anything we can do or so that will help, but we watched this video yesterday about:
Perseverance in the Face of Futility
The creator, Lady of the Library, struggles with mental health herself and talks openly about this at a high-level in the video.
It may not help everybody, but we hope that maybe it might help somebody :MentalHealthFlagHeart:

Ever so fitting for our trying times, and a growing conflict for quite a few people (incl. myself), I imagine...
"Absurdism is the philosophical theory that the universe is irrational and meaningless. It states that trying to find meaning leads people into conflict with a seemingly meaningless world. This conflict can be between rational humanity and an irrational universe, between intention and outcome, or between subjective assessment and objective worth..."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absurdism
Thanks to @richardazia for bringing this back to front of my mind...

CW: CW: Discussion of Multiplicity (OSDD), Inner Worlds, Nature of Self, Lack of Reasonable Existential Terror, Strong Language
Holy shit.
OK, so I mentioned before how I'm a kepholon (effectively a fluid, quasi-fused state of four alters in a tall trenchcoat).
So, I'm talking about what that means with a friend, and I'm talking about my inner world, the Theater, where every one of my alters has a room. The Blue Room, the Red Room, the Yellow Room, the Violet Room, and the Black...Room.......
That's when I realized I don't have a room back there. And when I wondered why, I realized that...oh. I'm...uh...I don't actually have an inner self, I guess? Or not an independent one. Inside, I'm always four. Outside, I can be this one or any combination of my comprising four. But inside?
There's no Ellis in the Theater.
Except for the spotlight. The spotlight, when all four of my fronting alters sync up on stage, turns indigo. And then I exist. Not an individual consciousness but a collective, emergent process.
I end when they stop.
That's so weird to think about. Thank Camus I'm an absurdist. These kinds of thoughts could fuck a girl up!

I'm a big Camus fan - a new adaptation of The Stranger by Francois Ozon (in French, of course) will premiere at the Venice Film Festival. It stars Benjamin Voisin as Mersault, and it looks great. Psyched to see this one.
