If you saw a tree fall in the woods you don’t have to spend an hour figuring out that the tree fell because it had root decay which led to trunk decay and also had a wood pecker nesting in it but one of their offspring died which attracted bugs adding to the decayed of the tree.

I want this, but unironically…
It’s called a dude ranch and it’s by no means a recent invention.
I don’t want to exclude dudettes.
We know the horrors of how the tech is used.
We’re all coming around to Kaczynski’s arguments
Dude had a sweet shack

Because we’re not allowed to kill the MBAs ruining it.
