The 4 examples Camus gives isnt to be taken as categorizations of absurdists in general in my opinion. It can be easily said that any person can be all 4 examples and still not be an absurdist. His examples were merely points to be made that you can live a good life and still accept the absurd for what it is. With that said, I seem to fit more into the "actor" example. Which example do you think fits you best?

@cosmicforums Good point, I agree these aren't categories just examples. What fits me best is the artist.

Is that a picture of yourself at the beginning of this video? I love your vids so far. Very intelligent, very straight forward. I am an absurdist, by the way. Great vids.

@cosmicforums No this isn't my picture. This is a picture of Hubert Harrison an early twentieth century African-Caribbean freethinker who was influential in the Harlem Renaissance and the Marcus Garvey movement, he was known as Black Socrates.

@lee1906 - isnt the history of freethought grand? It seems like everyday I learn something new about a freethinker or freethought. I would love to pick your thoughts on the effects of religion in America in context of black society; how they viewed "the curse of Ham", how they reconciled the support of the bible for slavery, the benefits and downfalls of black churches on blacks in general, and how black freethinkers are viewed in their communities.. I imagine you have volumes to tell.
