I don't offer anything and it's not valuable because it's mine but because it's true and I can make a strong case about it being the one and only true worldview in a debate.
That's some serious delusion right there, it might be true to you but to believe it's true to everyone else is absolutely insane.
Camus was an absurdist, he said the only serious philosophical question was the question of suicide. To complete negate the rest of his work from a pessimistic point of view tells me more about you than him.
"You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life."
Albert Camus
"Live to the point of tears."
Albert Camus
"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."
Albert Camus
I don't care what big think says, I care about what someone comes to think on their own.

Is there absolute truth?
Can two contradictory claims be true at the same time
None of the quotes you provided disproves my claim that Camus didn't see life as intrinsically meaningful. He suggested its the individual imbuing meaning in life, but that chosen meaning is a mere illusion just to get one not to self delete - an act he compared to the meaningless toil of Sisyphus. He saw man as being in an equally absurd position and he concluded we must embrace our meaningless endeavors and learn to find happiness in them ("one must imagine Sisyphus happy").
Anyway, I don't get why you're getting salty with me. You've tried calling me out on something I have pretty good knowledge on, I've proven you wrong and you tried deflecting with irrelevant quotes to the argument, attacking my source (as if I believe I'm correct because big think says so) and strawmaning my argument.
I told you I don't care about your critique of Camus because I can see through your consistently negative opinions the way you view things is pessimistically. We aren't looking at the same thing because we don't view the world the same way.
Translation: you're criticizing things I like so you're a pessimist. Ok, let's suppose I'm what you call a pessimist - what does that have to do with whether what I'm saying is true or not?
No, I consider you a pessimist because you haven't said anything positive, at all. You've just been a downer on every topic glass half empty on art, philosophy just a downer nothing positive at all just a drain. How you view things can be subjectively true to you but to believe they're universal truths is absurd.
