French writer-philosopher Albert Camus got it right in a long essay about an Absurd Universe ?

Does " socialist " ( ? ) Democrat Bernie Sanders understand that as understood by sound SCIENCE the climate change crisis of planet earth can never be solved by some miraculous PROFIT ignoring , extraordinary co-operation WITHIN the economic system of global capitalism? Also dialectical materialism seems to encourage socialist political views. But the real " Dialectics of Nature " is utterly indifferent not only to homo sapiens but also to LIFE ON EARTH .With no human beings around millions of years ago to spoil the planet there was still whole eras of extreme climate change deadly to most life on earth. There was once a " Snowball Earth " ( see the NOVA documentary ). There was the Great Dying of the Permian Age. Perhaps humanity barely survived the last Ice Age. There was probably a Scorched Earth Era. The real " Dialectics of Nature " seems to validate H.P. Lovecraft's " Cosmic Horror ". We better hope that the God of the Bible is not just on a long vacation. We better hope that Book of Revelation is more than an allegory . At some point THINKING FEELING human beings cannot be Carl Sagan ecstatic over " what hydrogen atoms can do " after 10 billion years of cosmic evolution. Albert Camus got it right in a long essay about the Absurd Universe ?
