Thank you so much for that. I hope I getting this right; absurdism rests on the facts that:
1. Nothing is certain accept the fact that human beings are searching for understanding.
2. The world doesn’t help us out.
Do I have it right? I need to give this more though.

The answer to your dilemma is instinct. Think about the people that control our present day society. What is the one thing that they have in common? Money is the answer. The greed for money is the manifestation of our reproductive instincts for the ones on top have the highest chance of mating. Essentially we are governed by individuals who are the most in touch with their inner ape.
