Day 14 at the ECB.
Since the forecast for today was even hotter than yesterday I decided to draw my sign in the shade, while being harassed from Security to draw elsewhere or come prepared or sit on the other side next to the river, because there are more people there bla bla…
We reached all time high in global median temperature and in Bitcoin price, which is represented in today’s sign.
Then I met a friend from last year who had decided to fast on this day to live in accordance with the prophet Mohammed, which seemed counterintuitive since going through the hottest day of the year without drinking water while doing sports didn’t seem very healthy to me. But I was happy about his company.
Stefano and Toni, the shop owners from across the street supplied me with ice cubes throughout the day, which were essential to cool down body temperature from time to time.
After I listened to a good lecture from Mark Beneke: "Time is up!" which gave insights into the latest IPCC report, I met Emin and his colleague Derek.
Emin was a true pleb and we had a fun time shittalking fiat.
To his colleague it must have looked pretty crazy, but we owned our cringe.
They brought some Mate and Cashews and went their way.
In the evening I was asking the security if they would refill my bottle since I had run out of water, to which they replied, that they had been given orders to not give me water anymore. WTF?
Everybody knows the rules are bullshit, yet they follow orders because they fear for their jobs and therefore livelihoods.
Day ended with a 7 minute meditative gratitude practice, during which they threatened to call the cops on me if I wouldn’t leave the block I was sitting on.
I’m looking forward to bringing a bit of humanity to an inhuman place tomorrow.
GN #Nostr, sleep well. 🧡
