I'm starting to read Deleuze so maybe I'll say some really stupid shit, lol, but i was reading "The actual and the virtual" and in a part he said nothing is fully actual or virtual. That made me think, ¿Can anything exist? If everything is in flux between states that are and states that maybe, nothing fully may exist in the traditional way of thinking being. I thought a bit about buddhism, thinking the ultimate reality of existence being void, nothing ever being, but consisting of the influx of relations in reality, so nothing is and nothingness is the ultimate description of being. Could one make that same clame of deleuzian ontology? Because i remember that in the logic of sense, the apendix on Plato, he kinds critiqued the notion of nothingness, because being would be plurality i.e it would be full, so what would y'all think it's a trash reading of Deleuze or am I on to something?

I was looking for good philosophy memes but i have to go through a bunch of stuff worshiping Camus. I've only read the Myth of Sisyphus so maybe i'm missing something.

I just really don't get the hype for him in philosophy, maybe his novels are great but i thought absurdism is aight, i mean it doesn't have anything particularly interesting unlike existencialism by De Beauvoir or Sarte, definitely not Heidegger. I don't see Camus getting treated by other philosophers as a serious thinker or like. I think the hype is mostly on the internet so i genuinely ask: Why do people live so much Camus?

Maybe it's me not getting it or maybe it's my lack of reading his novels, but i just see him as a mid-tier philosopher. His magnum opus just kinda felt like individualism with a none examination of power structures that produce the differential experience of the self unlike De Beauvoir in the Second Sex, nor did it really address the phenomenology of the self confronted by another self like Sarte. He more or less took for granted the condition in XX century Europe as a global one and I don't really think it has much values so reading the Myth of Sisyphus felt ok, not bad, not life changing, an ok read (i liked the bit of the theater role play and it's similarities with life). I think it's more of a cult of personality thing with him being this ladies man, cigarette smoking french dude.

But maybe I'm wrong so i would like to ask.
