A common thought of the depressive is "I hate the world, I hate everyone, I hate myself"; it's the same for the perpetually angry, but one clause shorter.

The Panaras River.


The Urus del Lago Poopó Indigenous community sits along the salt-crusted former shoreline of Lake Poopó in Punaca, Bolivia. Bolivia's second-largest lake dried up six years ago.

It owns that they came up with this entire discipline and started this project and this was the best they could do and then they gave up.

To this day people have already forgotten that the whole "nothing valued is here" spiel was supposed to be a description of the feelings the environment/warnings created to protect the radioactive dump were intended to evoke and not a literal written message to the future. It hasn't even been a century. What a complete and utter failure.

It honestly depresses me sometimes how half-assed and pointless this effort was. Nuclear semiotics should have been one of contemporary humankind's greatest contributions to future civilizations. A mixture of science, art, reverse archeology, and psychology intended to last hundreds of thousands of years undiluted. Our opportunity to create the inscrutable alien ruins we've spent hundreds of years imagining in books and movies. Instead it's a lovely internet joke about "ray cats" that couldn't be further from a believable solution, which we put barely any effort into, that absolutely no one will remember in a few hundred years.

At least some of the landscape proposals were kind of cool. I would stay away from this area if I found it.

Yeah, I saw that. There has to be a "chicken switch," so I wonder how soon until you get Twitch/YouTube daredevils who go through the motions just to see if they can cheat the reaper and bail out of the suicide box before they pass out, while getting a high in the process.

It's the kind of event that raises sea levels by 25m or more, and done on a natural cycle takes a couple centuries to play out. It'll be interesting to see how fast we can speedrun one.

i've seen people saying "i want to die" while trying to overdose that aren't trying as hard as humans are at destroying any hope for a livable climate

Comatoast posted:

Every purchase for either need or pleasure, every item shipped, every morsel of food and every evening spent in warmth and comfort are only serving to hasten the end of all this. I can't take up new hobbies, or get that cool 3d printer, or buy new computers, or drive 10 minutes down the road to my local trail system without feeling immense guilt. The contrast between what is my moral duty and what I'm actually doing is absolutely debilitating.

I've always liked the idea of possessionless monks. A life of quiet, still introspection rather than distraction. Though, the older I get the less I can handle anything religious.

I am not asking you to have hope for the future. I am asking you to go beyond hope, and into the realm of meaningful action and purpose- whatever that might mean for you.

Only then will you find any sort of spiritual salvation.
