    I think you’re glamourising it beyond its merit. As the planet turns into a smoking ball of shit over next 75 years. People will have less opportunity and desire to stare at a pile of concrete blocks while stroking their dick in wonder. Humans are too quick to label things “poignant” in our quest to bring meaning into an increasingly meaningless world. We’ve reached a point where the quest for poignancy now results in literal sculptures made of feces being discussed as critical statements of the human condition. With the money being spend on the pyramid, what practical good could we do today?

      You’re right.

      Contemplation is meritless. The art installations and greenery in our towns and cities are doing nothing more than fellating the egos of “creatives”. Introspection is dead, and living life for anything other than brutal utility is an insult to efficient civilization. And since we can’t live as if we’re machines, we should all just kill ourselves.

      /S

      Art is important. It’s one the things people actually want to do, you know, for fun. One of the things that makes a meaningless existence worth enduring.

      That you get off spitting on the concept as if it’s nothing more than a masturbatory vice is unimaginably tragic.

        You’re back to calling this pyramid thing art again. Which is where you run afoul of your own circular logic. I think you should step back and look closely at what you wrote. See if it make sense to you after a close scrutinization.

          What?

          My own circular logic? Are you suggesting I somehow discredited my own view?

          Or do you not know what /s means?

          It is an art installation, literally, and I think it’s a pretty cool one.
