Than the Boyfriend & I in our blanket fort.
I loved this moment, because although I’d never thought about whether or not Abed would experience pareidolia the same way the rest of us do, it is so exquisitely Abed to not recognize a representation of the human face!

You’ve got to be kidding me.
listening to " /- [Plus Minus} - Snowblind"
Pandora never disappoints. Neither does +/-.
listening to "Explosions in the Sky - The Only Moment We Were Alone"
Lovely-wonderful.
I read two poems about strangers and intimacy, both by Patricia Fargnoli.
If you wanted to could you live in the wilderness surrounded by no population of humans?
I would never want that. I guess you could say that I couldn’t do it.
Human beings amaze me, and usually make me very happy.
List three or four qualities that make you who you are. Go on, do it.
…
Did it? Now think about whether those qualities would be of any consequence if you were the only person on earth.
The qualities that I listed when asked to do this exercise are, in my opinion, worthless if I didn’t have humans to share them with.
Is beauty as frivolous as Plato puts it?
Are you referring to the beauty of theatre and literature? That’s the only kind of beauty I can remember Plato discounting, which might be the result of me not reading Plato for awhile.
I completely understand, and might even agree with, Plato’s assertions that artistic works can lead to weakness and other questionable personality traits when the audience identifies with certain characters. However, I do not believe that art needs to always serve a purpose. It is not always the responsibility of art to help its audience grow as people and society members. Sometimes its purpose, or lack thereof, is just to be art. Keep in mind Wilde’s “art for art’s sake” philosophy.
Beauty may not serve a grand purpose, but that doesn’t make it bad. And sometimes, it does serve a purpose: making life more enjoyable, and making the points of the artistic work drive home in a more intense fashion.
what are memes?
In the non-anthropological sense, it’s a recurring and recognizable picture/phrase/prank/etc that is often posted online.
