I really appreciate (and am very fascinated by) your extreme honesty in this thread. I've read Camus twice. The first time I read The Stranger, I took away meaninglessness, in the sense that existentialism seemed true. The second time, I nearly threw up (no, I wasn't reading Nausea :-D), but in the sense that I don't think I've ever felt anything was so absolutely evil and wrong, and existentialism false. I can't explain this in a philosophical way, and it may be a delusional and biased opinion given my life experiences between the two readings, but I think observing intuitions does hint at universal meaning. Intuitions might be intellectual observations of objective truths no different, in principle, from observations of atoms, or reason itself.
