  • If you find a hole hidden under geological eras, and it was made just for you and you knew it... you wouldn't feel tempted at all to just... take a step in... a unique hole unlike any other in the world, this one welcoming you like your own shadow with its depths... and confirm that someone really did carve out your exact silhouette?

    It's certainly something I could imagine happening in a dream. Like my recurring dream of driving off of bridges.

    There is a Buddhist element of reincarnation going on which might be lost on some foreign audiences, but the feeling it is trying to summon should be familiar - a strange familiarity of something that should be unknown to you, an inexplicable intuition, something that feels like it could be from a past life, a premonition, deja vu.

    If none of this is relatable to you, that's okay, but it is relatable to myself and many others. Hopefully you don't have recurring dreams about driving off of bridges, either.

  • The surreal aspects beg you to drop your hyper-criticism and to look for deeper imagery. I love it. And he can do it in such a short form, while also managing to singularly capture the psychological horror as well as anyone.

    Imagine present day Stephen King telling stories through a one-shot manga. The action wouldn't even be started before he ran out of paper! Of course, King has his own masterful way of conveying horror and it works very well, too.

  • When visiting Hollywood, I have learned that the ideal parking spot is in a tree, which is just about the only place where other cars can't reach you.

  • I'm pretty sure all of the people you don't want having assault weapons in states like Illinois already have them.

    I'm not so sure the ones those people dream of targeting have yet acquired reciprocal defenses.

    Happy to see less guns around, but I do worry about the pre-existing distribution of them.

  • All this probably happened because we stopped to geoengineer by outlawing ships blowing sulphur into the air which created additional cloud cover.

    You have your causality running backwards... this was already here, and the sulfur was masking it. This happened because we put so many GHG in the air.

    It works, and without wrecking havoc on the overall system.

    Europe is the one that initiated the sulfur reductions. With the additional dimming data now available, they reviewed it to determine how much damage had been caused. The conclusion? The benefits of reducing sulfur actually outweigh the damage of unmasked warming. The plan for further reductions was upheld.

    If we mask radiative forcing, we don't want to be doing it with sulfur. That leads to acid rain, ocean acidification, and asthma and other diseases. CaCO3 is a candidate. The long-term consequences of any candidate is unknown. Except that we know that the less sulfur raining down on us and the fish in general, the better.
