Comment on Anon awakens an ancient evil

I think ancient evil very much does exist. But it’s the same as modern evil. I figure it must exist, and it’s the presence of this evil that has caused such a fucked up society to emerge.
In other words, this is not the golden age of mankind; quite the opposite I’m afraid… 😝
I think that’s likely to happen. Once the Internet and digital media is gone the information age will become an information dark age to historians.
Depending on what happens it’s entirely possible for future cultures to actively avoid another industrial age.
people on lemmy are so pessimistic (how tf you spell that??)
Evil - a human competitive thing where we as individuals or as groups of people strive to out-evil all previous attempts at extreme-evil.
It’s something that has been flourishing forever, we keep finding new heights.
We’ve been created for this and are really good at it.

It’s almost like modern United States were built on an ancient Indian burial ground…

Oof.
And from the ashes of Roman imperialism, no less. And, by the way, that is the only thing imperialism brings - ashes…

Some of the ruins are pretty neat too. But back then their architecture had style. The ruins of todays concrete and steal cubes are going to be lame.

Idk, subways would be pretty cool to explore, especially the fancy stations in places like Seoul where there are tons of shops and stuff.

Literally. The Mayflower settlers moved into a town that had recently been wiped out by disease. People were still mourning in nearby communities when they just walzed in.
