It must be contingent on the strength of camus' arguments, if camus argues such a view into consideration, right?
Life is absurd - if you accept the arguments to that effect - but why anyone would accept any argument to any effect is a good question - if life is indeed absurd.
Similarly, any truth claim which states that finding the truth is a waste of time is, itself - and by it's own metrics....a waste of time.
Ultimately, I'm sure that we can find useful insight pretty much anywhere - I just don't find it in absurdism. I don't find the arguments compelling, and there wouldn't be any utility in my life even if I did.
