This article’s doing a bit too much, primarily by calling out that famous actors whom we recognize and care about should act like nobody will remember them, which is a bit of a dubious premise.

You’re better off reading Camus.

This article is more stoicism than nihilism.



I do think the example is interesting because it gives us a person who, at the time, seemed so very important -- and no longer was. It gives us that metaphor of false importance.

That being said, I would agree that this post perhaps not quite achieve the philosophical thought of Albert Camus :)
