    Part I 1. In Thomas Nagel’s “The Absurd” (1971)‚ he begins by addressing the standard arguments for declaring life to be absurd. The first argument he points out is the idea that nothing humans doing in the present will matter in the distant future‚ or as Nagel says‚ “in a million years” (Nagel 716).
