Fun fact, it's not just there. That happens near most coastlines. It's actually more prominent near BC/Washington/Alaska.

At the time, in Greece they thought of apes as monkeys without tails. They also had no reason to think those creatures were particularly bipedal. Or that there was any particular relation to humans. Aristotle was describing Baboons, which walk on all 4s. To Plato, a bird might be the only other creature that walked on two legs. It also has pink skin for what that's worth.
It's easy to forget that the foundation of knowledge we have is so incredibly vast it would be incomprehensible to the ancient Greeks. We learn in elementary school things that people wouldn't work out for centuries.
Imagine telling Diogenes that dolphins are foxes that learned to swim. Or that the giant skulls they keep finding aren't one eyed giants, but the skulls of ancient hairy elephants.
Plato was alive when Greek philosophers decided the earth was round, and it would be a few hundred years before somebody would make the first real calculation of its size.
"Carl over here is really good at making wheels. But he's only made the 4 of them. Won't make any more unless we give him a reason to... Ideas?"
Annnnnd 5000 years later; mortgages, wage slavery, and "let's have an all hands to realign with our core paradigm"
Then, magically unemployment will go down and they'll call it a success. Even though all that's happened are fewer people qualifying for unemployment, and more than likely it will result in a net increase in unemployed people.
I love brutalism. I'm also not a fan of the design of the library.
Brutalism kind of requires an environment. But it's like a jagged tooth sticking out of a garden. Like a giant lawn rock. Lift it up and you'll find the keys to the American dream. Locked away like some davinci code nonsense.
Rounding up random brown people, including American citizens and sending them overseas to prison camps?
That's fine.
Raping children for decades?
Perfectly cool.
Cringey blasphemy?
