History is full of restless, ambitious overachievers who wanted to make some difference in the world. But what if our idea of the world is wrong? What if life is nothing more than a dumb accident of the universe with no meaning? This is the philosophy of absurdism. In Albert Camus' The Stranger, the idea of absurdism is told through the character of Meursalt, a guy so checked out of life that he can't even explain why he murdered someone. On this week's show, we're talking about life, death, and the meaning of it all.
