Below we're talking about how everything is fucked.
So I'm going to leave this..
Imagine you're staring at the pyramids, rome, machu picchu, sumeria / mesopotamia... countless others. they all just upped and left. You're staring at this achievement.. and you're like nup.. I'm out, imma gonna just disappear with the rest of my homies. It was that bad. and that took far longer to build than what we have today..
These thoughts don't help me sleep.
if it helps, none of those people just upped and left.
those civilisations fell is the point.
then it was a bad selection to illustrate that point. been to italy lately? the roman empire fell, the society didn't
edit: also, you can throw a stone at the pyramids from cairo. and so on.
