    "Sad Beauty" is a perfect title. This is where we are heading. It's just a matter of how long it takes to get there and how painful it is along the way.

      You are delusional, there is no analogy here to today's times. This is closer to polluted, antibiotic-less Victorian England.

      John Smith No, I’m not delusional. The evolution of pathogens is slowly but surely outpacing our evolution of medicines effective in the eradication of said pathogens.
      Do some research and I’m certain you’ll agree.
      Btw, I’m a retired RN on a liver transplant wait list. Two out of six known strains of hepatitis C that happened to be the most difficult to eradicate (three attempts over 4 1/2 years finally worked, but they destroyed my liver). Currently, there are at least three known pathogens that don’t respond to any medical intervention. Stay safe and well. ✨

    We thrive to survive. To die a death, to live again. In memory, sorrow. Eternity. Tomorrow. Habitat emerges, survives, and the cycle persists to flourish like the blooming flower.

    Once there were parking lots
    Now it's a peaceful oasis
    You've got it, you've got it
    This was a Pizza Hut
    Now it's all covered with daisies
    You got it, you got it
    I miss the honky tonks,
    Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
    You got it, you got it
    And as things fell apart
    Nobody paid much attention
    You got it, you got it

    Cities are the problem. None of this pollution would exist if we never built such large modern cities. Even if you're a walk-about-town citizen with a plant on your terrance and an art gig. It's where we choose to live that's the problem. Cities aren't romantic anymore. Being a New Yorker is no longer a badge of honor. We are the problem.

    • @johnsmith1474
      @johnsmith1474 2 года назад +1

      It's not about pollution, the pollution was an incoherent addition not explained. The woman dies of a disease. But I agree you (NYC) are a problem, you (LA, DC etc.) suck the air out of the nation and enforce a sort of groupthink about tolerating and obeying corporate overlordship that is detrimental to human progress.

    • @eberlyhills
      @eberlyhills 2 года назад +5

      Dude @JWFDocumentaries) you are so wrong about cities. Sprawl is what’s killing us. Endless suburbs expanding into exurbs with McMansions that are completely dependent on individual car ownership is killing us and nature. 8 million people living in a high-density city like NYC with 300 square miles is vastly superior for the environmental surroundings that 8 million people spread out over 10,000 square miles. Endless roads, utility piping, large inefficient homes, and more is destroying the future of this country (USA).

  • @johnsmith1474
    @johnsmith1474 2 года назад +3

    Beautifully produced with fine style, even as it completely lacks any coherent message outside that artists may be given to fever dreams including the type that produce incoherent 10 min cartoons.
    Thought through: the closing insinuation is that long term, everything bounces back after humans die off, albeit in casually perverted form. This is a paltry conjecture for a story, and odd given that the only character seems undeserving of a foul end. Perhaps it's punishment for not wearing a mask? Can't be, because all the mask wearers die off too. Beautifully drawn confusion in art deco.
    What perhaps is most interesting is what the piece dutifully lacks; reference to the very old understanding that we are an animal species whose lives are short in any case, traditional resort to deities in the face of death, or hint of any realistic notion of just how resilient humans are in practice - I don't know of a living organism in history that is fatal to all humans, there always being some natural failure in virulence.
