@DrFitzPhD It seems like humans can find happiness in anything. I suspect it's a survival trait. As long as there is change, there will be hope.

I like the sort-of baptism this guy does. He certainly has a compelling charisma about him too. #1102dystopia

Who stops in the middle of a meal to join a brawl? I thought these people were supposed to be starving before. #1102dystopia

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

First, high-stakes trivia. Now they get to play with blocks. This really is the best day of their lives. #1102dystopia

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

Somebody needs to teach this guy how baths work. He seems confused. It's not just drowning the germs. #1102dystopia

@arobin_san Try turning on the captions. They don't match the audio either. I can't live like this.

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

Stasis is an unnatural and uncompelling situation.We should focus on sustainable processes, not a return to mythical Eden. #1102dystopia

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

It seems like we rejected the moral dominion over nature just as we were developing a practical technical dominion. #1102dystopia

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

Interesting how Nature can be viewed as nurturing or cutthroat. The diversity of human thought is the treasure of the curious. #1102dystopia

@bgoldenthal3 The disappearance of arbitrary social restrictions is one of the few benefits of living in the post-apocalypse.

@Edwin05886430 It never hurts to have another strong set of arms around, especially one who owes you a favor. #1102dystopia

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

@DrFitzPhD Seems like a pretty direct representation of American capitalism. The poor labor under the delusion of opportunity to feed the rich.

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

They're lucky the storm came along and killed off the competition. It should be much easier to find work after this. #1102dystopia

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

Did Nailer not learn anything from Sloth? Leave the old man and run. He's not going to return this loyalty. #1102dystopia

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

It's amazing how people struggle to survive knowing life is never going to get any better. What keeps them going? #1102dystopia

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

"Can we make correct choices?" I mean, probably? But that sounds hard. Surely our earthly utopia can wait until after my nap. #1102dystopia

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

"Once in a great while the contrast favors Hell." My heart weeps for all the anti-authoritarians who lived too righteously. #1102dystopia

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

I tend to agree that an author's intentions are unknowable. Besides, limiting a work to just one meaning would be so boring. #1102dystopia

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

Q: Is utopian thinking really "a fundamental part of being human"? Can our species not survive solely in the real world? #1102dystopia

[Goodbye @goodbye_owls]

Q: Are the "masterpieces" truly the standards of a genre? Aren't the greatest works often those that challenge convention? #1102dystopia
