ANTITHESIS
An argument against hamsters, from a philosophical perspective, might focus on their existential futility. Hamsters, in their endless wheel-running, symbolize the Sisyphean absurdity of life—repetitive, purposeless, and devoid of higher meaning. Their existence serves as a metaphor for humanity’s own struggles against meaninglessness, yet unlike humans, hamsters lack the capacity for reflection or transcendence. Thus, they embody a life devoid of philosophical depth, offering no insight or redemption, only an endless cycle of instinctual behavior. In this sense, hamsters are not just trivial but a reminder of the void we seek to escape.
