In The Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus wrote that "there is only one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide." In this week's philosophical news recap, Nathan and Taylor discuss death, dying, and the rise of identity based persecution in the context of existential philosophy.

Trigger warning that this episode covers issues related to genocide, suicide, and sexual abuse.

If you'd like more information about Camus and/or existential philosophy, see my YouTube channel, BYTE-GEIST, where I have a variety of introductory videos on the topic. Or, check out my interviews with expert existentialist Dr. James McLachlan.
