We start with a quote from Camus, in The Myth of Sisyphus, “There is but one true philosophical problem, and that is suicide.” We discuss the nature of a philosophical problem, and some reasoning behind Hamlet’s problem. We expand the question to one encompassing most of the species, in the example of a nuclear apocalypse, and rephrase the question: “Why live if there are no others to live for?” And what if those others lived only after you, and your connection to them is remote? In what ways is every human like Sisyphus? How much are you living for the story of your life, for expressing yourself? I explore my sentiment that I would choose to go on, at least immediately, with an apocalypse. Why go on, right now, if you know doom is assured? After all, there are goods here, still. And anyway, the world would not be the same without any humans, don’t you think?
