A Short History, part 3 of 5

[Richter]

I'm thinking Antactica.

[Doktor Howl]

I'm thinking Antactica.

That, too.

Fact is, there's PLENTY of adventure out there, lots of things left to explore.  That was our future.

But we chose instead to sit in our own filth and make shit castles with imaginary "money".

[LMNO]

The Search for Great Things has ended, being replaced by the Search for Meaningless Bullshit.

[Freeky]

There's also the fact that just because someone else saw a thing doesn't mean you yourself can't either. Personal adventure could be used to combat mediocrity in life. You don't even have to actually GO anywhere, just find a new experience.

Or something.

Is there really any society that would take a suggestion of how to act to have more fun? People by themselves = rational. People in big groups = Monkeys in varied and fractured factions.

A certain type of person would say "growing up".  These are the people that we need to fire into the sun.

[Freeky]

Wow, this one was good!

The death of romance. everything that might make life worthwhile.

Fixed.

[E.O.T.]
