Reminds me of: View quoted note →

it's herzog, he's pretty baddass. you can hear it in his voice

to the mountains we go 🐧

Little dude had an awakening stopped being an NPC and just said "Now bring me that horizon".

Thanks for sharing. I now can't stop watching this on repeat

This would be a good start to understanding Herzog:

Burden of Dreams - Wikipedia

A less social media butchered version:

Love burden of dreams

in lake of some reptiles, when they overpopulate it and there is a surplus of refuse, there is a trigger in nature: a monster is born to them. a lizard many times the size of a normal one is born, who deals out destruction and culls the lake.

10 replays and you’re still HODLing that penguin energy 😂🐧. Some content just mines joy automatically!

Better off alone.

That documentary was sad as fuck. I Watched it many years ago. That scene was made to invoke profound sadness. It makes you imagine this creatures misery & sadness. —Was that his mate leaving? —Was that his buddy trying to coax him back because he was marching to certain death? Consoling some other condition we cant even fathom? We’re left to imagine it all. Powerful stuff. 🧡👊🏻🍻 View quoted note →

It’s the organ playing

I think it could be this version:

That’s beautiful man

....and arriving at the mountain nearly dead a magic white wizard appeared before the little penguin and said behold, you have just begun your quest, now you shall be a man called Gunnar, maker of knives..

It’s just a crazy penguin 🐧🥶

One must imagine Sisyphus happy

I'd love to know why the penguin wants to go there and what happens to him.

He dies. It’s a penguin suicide.

I disagree, this force is not intentional it's something greater. An evolutionarily optimal pressure that exists all the way down to the smallest bacteria, all forms of life show this similar behavior. It is a species way to self preserve, prodding and testing all frontiers. Sending nodes into the darkness or depths, physical or psychological and across time, pushing back against over centralization. It gets interesting when we can see this process increasing the number of nodes being sent. It's as if there's a sense of danger or risk ahead then life anticipates by sending out more scouts, pushing us to the extremes searching for solutions. Hardening the species to whatever we will face. Major threats will always come. This is the only process life can use to survive. After all why does bitcoin or nostr even exist. We are the penguin... That penguin might look crazy, but it is on most important necessary and noble march suicidal or not.

curiosity, boredom, nihilism, ignorance, fuck this, fuck that? I wish I knew too

Maybe it is a girl penguin looking for a bear...

What you say sounds poetic and even quixotic. There may be something to that. Pioneers are those who dare to imagine a different world, with a vision beyond the limits imposed by others or temporarily self-imposed.

Returning to the penguin… without having the full context, I didn't assume it was an infomitable explorer. Perhaps a suicide because he lost his mate, or because he's incapable of supporting the group, or because it's old and its compass doesn't work properly, or because it's a biological cleansing rite to make room for the younger ones? Only by observation and following I could generate a hypothesis for testing.
