No, it’s amphetamine.

You are not wrong. There seems to be a similar level of responses too.

Oh well, at least I can rotate between behavioral addictions for constant distraction

how could someone view this as anything other than dystopian?

Because of the nature of time, the universe is in a constant state of becoming something else. Everything is changing all the time. But, because of the Laws of Conservation of Energy and Mass, there is always part of what was before persisting in what is now. For example, a fire burns logs, releasing the kinetic energy as heat, water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc. The heat dissipates because the atmosphere is very large, but it doesn’t dissappear, it just gets diluted. The water vapor is released into the atmosphere, and those molecules become moisture in a cloud and turn into rain, continuing in the water cycle. In a metaphorical sense, your past selves have “burned” and “released” what you are now. You may consider your past selves dead, but the molecules that made them continue to exist as your current self, even if those molecules are rearranged or are slightly different (we eat food and excrete waste, so our molecules are regularly being exchanged with other molecules in the environment). Those same molecules were once inside the sun. Before that, those molecules existed at the beginning of the universe. So, in a way, yes we are constantly dying and being transformed, but the stuff that we are made of can never die. We are just constantly changing, along with the universe, because we are part of the universe.

Zardoz Clause!

I think you’re probably right, but a world where robots do art and humans do the tedious manual labor sounds eerily similar to the world we live in. At least, it is not outside the realm of possibility.

Basil Hayden, Woodford Reserve, Knob Creek, Angel’s Envy, Old Grandad, Bulleit are all great choices.

Basil Hayden or Woodford would definitely be my first choice though.

I enjoy checking in on this site when I need some nice news:

Edit: it’s not strictly green/environmental news, but there are often articles about that kind of thing

ah, the “Shane Gillis” approach

Not sure if this counts as brutalist, but the post made me think of this example from Portland

“ghosts aren’t real”

“well of course, but they don’t know that”

ok

incorrect

I prefer buildings that weren’t demolished by airplanes

That’s a good one; first one I read by him. I think Jitterbug Perfume is my favorite. Totally changed the way I think about the sense of smell haha
