1. the absurd

   The absurd is a philosophical concept or philosophical school of thought that refers to the conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent value and meaning in life and the human inability to find any in a universe devoid of purpose or objective meaning. It is also often referred to as the disconnect between human beings and the unfathomable universe around them. This idea is most commonly associated with existentialist philosophers like Albert Camus and Søren Kierkegaard who suggested that individuals should embrace the absurd condition of human existence. In a broader sense, "absurd" can also refer to something that is ridiculously unreasonable, illogical, or inappropriate.
