Thx for the info my understanding of the philosophy is relatively surface level. If you have any books u would recommend I read to understand I'd appreciate a recommendation. I'm not looking to convert just interested in the philosophy and ideas. Would especially appreciate something that integrates will with Albert Camus absurdism. I would prefer a translation of something old as I find in many places contemporary works take existing knowledge as a given and also tend to soften the messages that the foundational texts where based on.
Well, y'know, if you're asking me, personally, I would recommend going through my educational (f)art project, now contained here on my Lemmy profile; my latest post on c/atheism is a good example of a solid, serious post contained within, but also I do do the absurdism to the Nth degree. You'll see I go in and out of character, with is an exaggerated caricature of my past self. The goal is to teach philosophy, spirituality, and mental health skills to help people like past me heal and self-actualize. The further back you go, all the way to when I started daily writing twelve years ago, the less skillfully unhinged I get and more edge-lordy I was. I've healed a lot. Also, you'll see in my c/atheism post the subreddit I linked to. That's my friend Vince's sub, r/ShrugLifeSyndicate, which is where I got started and contains different varieties from multiple people of what Vince, jux who wrote the linked post in my post, and I do. We try playing off each other to market the same wisdom to different demographics.
But as for "older," I would recommend delving into the occult, which is a word that just means hidden. There's a lot of absurdists who have made their own mysticism schools, because the way we do things in the occident is we engineered our culture to control those people who cannot think for themselves whilst simultaneously guiding those waking up to the matrix into the occult. The Bible is a good foundation that contains much that I did not know was contained therein until I started digging below the surface in these schools to understand its depth.
