      Yeah but if he never gets time away from the boulder to go show off his sweet bod then what’s the point?

    The answer is simple the cat is alive, but god is dead in a box when you ring the bell.

    For as long as he has to push the boulder, Sisyphus will never be happy.

    So, I don’t know. I vote for Hotel Massacre today, might change my mind later

        I’m glad someone else posted this. The point of the essay is that Sisyphus is fulfilled and Happy. Sisyphus being miserable at the meaningless and futility of his torment wouldn’t really require an essay.

            Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus

            a very short read itself (often bundled with his other works) but dang, does it slap

            Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

            There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.

      I’m sure Sisyphus thinks about bouldy.

        But more importantly, does Bouldy believe in us?

    Luckily, Sisyphus will do this an infinite number of times so he’ll be able to explore the options.

    Fortunately, according to Zeno, he’ll never reach either; he can only ever get halfway. Not sure if that makes him more, or less happy.

    You can always move the room guests into the next room before the boulder reaches them.

    Besides, the boulder will have to destroy half of the rooms before it reaches the other half. And half of those first before reaching the later half. And half of those first before reaching the later half. So Sisyphus can only ever bulldoze an inifinitelly small share of the rooms.

    The instructions stated “get on the train. go to the last stop. go through the station and exit down stairway 17. The stairs terminate in a tunnel. follow the lights.”

    So I got on the train and rode to the last stop. I went through the station, found stairway 17, and followed them down until they ended in a tunnel.

    The lights went both ways. I was confused.

    This feels like something that an infinite number of monkeys with typewriters would write.
