About this listen

What do you do when the universe offers no inherent meaning? Two philosophers gave radically opposite answers. Kierkegaard said make a leap of faith—embrace God despite the absurdity.
Camus said revolt—create your own meaning and live passionately anyway, like Sisyphus pushing his boulder with a smile.
We explore this fundamental clash: should meaning come from transcendent faith or radical freedom? Is believing without proof courageous or self-deception? Is embracing meaninglessness liberating or depressing? This isn't just philosophy—it's about how you actually live when facing life's big questions.
In our modern meaning crisis, these two thinkers offer competing visions for living authentically in an indifferent cosmos.
