Imo absurdism is to me one of the more intriguing concepts to come out of existentialism. The idea of the only consistency being that on account of random spontaneity anything can happen and it could potentially mean nothing is an interesting one but the way it’s presented a/o spoken of at times imo is a bit too laden w/ the Western style induction fallacy that emptiness is a scary thing b/c everything is a “free for all” and hence it is dangerous to be empty and be wary of it instead of seeing it instead as a kind of “perpetual liminality” where there is not yet any value-judgement.
If I take some of the things said in the “What is NOT Random?” www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMb00l…,where Derek and Mike said that “information is entropy” and that having “full information being tightly packed,distilled info…pure information is randomness”, I think you can see absurdity as a kind of “all-inclusion” of information b/c there is (supposedly) no regularity going on with that information (randomness being disorder–.i.e. one way of putting absurdity)…“and randomness is disorder;what we call entrophy”.
If I could I’d bring up Albert Camus and philosophical implications of math like game and chaos theory.
