Document Summary
Life is absurd bc two perspectives dont get along. You have an interenal perspective - you embody by your form of life. External perspective that abstracts from all those things. Any external reason for values we have now - there arent. We view the world by our projects. No external standard with our choices and preferencesthey seem silly. Undermines any value we have- non objective. More its about you, less there can be a universal standard. Values are de ned by what you think is important. Absurdity is one of the most human things about us. We humans are special bc were aware our lives are absurd. Perspective determined by your values and one not. Dont have to accept others perspectives, just be aware. It undermines the seriousness or creditability about your perspective. No absolute right answer, just do what is best in that situation.
