everything is a hoax. nothing cool happens anymore. the only adventure available is through controlled tours. even space, the final frontier will be safely packaged and digested in disney-esque fashion.
bummer.
the last picture in the orange revolution link is really pretty. but the writing says 'winter festival' and not revolution or anything cool like that. the pictures were all taken from a winter festival with fake captioning. internet truth is schrodinger's cat, simultaneously true and false!
one thing i always wondered about that thought experiment is why it's so dead or alive. like the big question is whether or not the cat is dead or alive. what about other states? why couldn't it be the cat is neither dead or alive, jumping or sleeping, trying to get out of the box or licking it's fur, drinking martinis or jumping on a trampoline? does the state even have to be a possibility or can it be anything we can imagine? i mean, if we don't know until we open the box what's in it then why be so limited in the possiblities?
