Ludwig Wittgenstein argued with Camus about Sisyphus. Ludwig said we must imagine Sisyphus happy. Wittgenstein was an ex-hospital porter and I don't know if that influenced him. Richard Dawkins compared all "menial labourers" to Sisyphus. I find that very patronizing, but I often get that feeling from Dawkins.

That sounds typical of Dawkins. As if most labour doesn't actually have an end in mind, or that it is incapable of fulfilling some kind of goal.
