The Everest shit blew my mind, how they line up like disgusting fucking proles all the way up the mountain, all waiting to take their fucking Instagram selfie. It makes me sick, actually sick.

I don't understand why this disgust for the vulgarization of the sublime is such a minority opinion. Whenever I talk to a normie about something like commercial spaceflight, they all react the same, no matter what, they all say "but why shouldn't people be allowed to go to space if they WANT???" and I say okay, but why does every dumbass prole need to have a selfie in orbit? Can't anything be reserved for select people or simply preserved in general? Do we really need to blast all those non-recyclable materials into the atmosphere, burn up our limited stores of rocket fuel, clutter up the stratosphere with a billion fat pleb housewives taking pictures of themselves? Can we at least reserve it for people who will appreciate it? They always go "ummmm but those people will have a GOOD TIME so that means they should be able to do whatever they want??" Proles in space, proles under the sea, proles on every mountaintop, proles cluttering up every natural environment, gotta convert every forest and jungle and tundra into a vacation spot for proles. God forbid instead of vaporizing an acre of rainforest, you teach a prole an ounce of humility instead, when humility is the precondition for an authentic encounter with nature in the first place.

Everything in this era is pure evil, there is a real metaphysical assault on humanity taking place at a level we can't normally see. Something is trying to drag us all down to this disgusting level permanently.

Since when is morality based on what MIGHT happen to someone as a result of your consenting on their behalf?
