Critiques of Absurdism

Just asking for some critiques of absrudism. I already read Thomas Nagel's critique but would like more.

Absurdism is predicated on the idea that it's in human nature to search for an ultimate purpose and an ultimate purpose doesn't exist. Both premises have to be assumed true for absurdism to work, but neither premise has been proven. Some people think the ultimate purpose in life is to be happy, and happiness exists, which therefore would contradict absurdism. Absurdism is largely born out of a theistic society, which believed that God gave man ultimate purpose. But nihilists didn't believe in God and forgot that ultimate purpose was only a concept because God was. Thus absurdism was born.
