The world is cruel and ugly. There are plenty of justifiable things to be upset and distraught over. I don’t want to hear about those. I want to know what bizarre out of left field takes you have that infuriates you.

I’m still upset about Tenochtitlan falling and being buried. I’m a gringo, I shouldn’t have an opinion about Lake Texcoco being drained centuries ago.

    In the context of the universe as a whole, what even is “useful”? Maybe its just here to shine bright for a few trillion years and that’s all it needs to be. Art doesn’t need to be useful.

    If human history tells us anything its that we’d somehow suck the beauty out of it all in the name of profit.

    I’m not really a nihilist or anything but it seems like almost anything we touch turns to shit. I’m all for colonizing the moon and Mars and making use of the asteroid belt but on bigger scales, maybe its better off to just sit back and enjoy the view?
