Whose eyes am I behind?

Gaang + Summer

I was once having an argument with a classmate of mine and we were talking about the capacity for humans to do good or bad

we were history majors, so I was bringing up various man-made famines and genocide and how the human collective capacity for cruelty was vast and often underestimated

I remember very vividly that she said ‘yeah, but the capacity for humans to do good is underestimated too.’

I was a bit of a pessimist at the time, so I was like ‘I mean, sure, people do nice things for each other every day, but it’s not really on a large scale.’

and she was like :( and showed me something on her computer, it was an article about Opportunity

she said ‘we made a robot that we said would last 90 days, it’s lasted 13+ years. We underestimate our own capacity to create, humans ability to create for the greater good is larger than we think.’

the current global predicament is often clouded by pessimism and fear, but here is a little robot that defied the most optimistic of predictions for it’s life

I call this set… “Noir Princesses”.

I dreamed that I, that I killed you and Danny. But I didn’t just kill ya. I cut you up in little pieces. Oh my God. I must be losing my mind.
