• Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

how long did it take to not be on autopilot and somehow be in a constant state of contentment, or does it fluctuate? what would even trigger a change for it to fluctuate? what would he be thinking all his time? does he just observe the boulder and, i dunno, the mountain he's pushing it up against, does he feel happy to start over or is it just a constant satisfaction, does it make him happier when he reaches the top or when he has to go down or the part in between where he's pushing the boulder, what does he think of the mountain and the boulder... i know how to yap huh? one must have a detailed imagination of Sisyphus xD

928 if he isn't in a constant state of misery and depression and that nothing matters, he is either in a cycle of hope where he pushes the boulder when falls into even more despair when it goes down or is a masochist enjoying when it falls down and enjoying the suffering and effort he has put in to push it back up.

I am going to go now as mum is watching me now, bye <3

929, hmmm, well, that's a valid point of view, but that's not how absurdism thinks of it you see, to put it simply, he doesn't actually find his satisfaction from getting the boulder to be up there, he gets the satisfaction from the process itself because he realizes how absurd this whole thing is but he can't really do anything about it other than be miserable (or ignorant) or be content, so that's (in a way butchered it up) why the author says "one must imagine Sisyphus happy" and not miserable, because the third to those two options is suicide and he's immortal lol
