As someone that has accepted a very long time ago that nihilism is the only self-consistent philosophy, I've made peace with the fact that humanity has no purpose and therefore disagree with your conclusion. I haven't been driven to absurdism, either.

Instead, I derive purpose and self-worth from within.
