View submission: Arguments against Camus and existentialism?

Is the search for meaning still pointless if we are 1000x smarter and so biologically different that we could be a new species altogether?

Yes, at least in Camus' view. For Camus, it is not a practical matter of not being able to achieve a certain type of knowledge due to lack of intelligence or practical experience, but an existential matter.

Thanks for taking on my question. I’m wondering if you can also speak to another part of my question: are there any strong criticisms or rebuttals to existentialism?
