For sure! I'm glad to see more Camus fans on here!
If only those two could see the world today, how different it is - that is what inspired me to extend Camus's framework :)
If 'The Recursive Absurd' essay says 'We've manufactured a new kind of absurdity, society is fucked, and it's too late to go back' - then the 'Humanist Absurdism' way of life is the ANSWER to that nihilistic take.
Camus put it so well when he differentiated between "Midnight Thinking" (dark nihilisism) and I believe he called it 'Morning/Dawn thinking' (unrealistic, happy optimish) -- both are dangerous, both get nothing done -- but in between we have 'Noon thinking' - that perfect middle ground where we acknowledge both the darkness and hope at the same time -- a true remedy to Nihilism.
