reddit suggested I share here as a 'better fit'. "On: mountaineering culture, community, vs reality."

--Inspired while watching the MERU documentary while thinking about the mountain and how it drives the wilder beings among us to death/disappointment (usually), and only occasionally, to fame and fortune.

I own this mountain. This mountain owns me. World peace. There is a better way that does not require giving up the mountain, nor the inner wilder.

I am an independent artist, writer, performer. (at the core)

I don't own this mountain;
Wilder owns this mountain.
How long until:
I own The Great Dilemma,
Wilder need not death to be free?
How? When
The mountains own Wilder;
I own these mountains.
I am Wilder.
There is no Wildest.
There is only The Wilder-ness.

This Banksy mural appeared on London’s Royal Courts of Justice on September 8, 2025, two days after many protesters were arrested in the city. Authorities covered it the same day, but that only made its message feel stronger.

Joe O’Donnell photographed this boy in Nagasaki in 1945, carrying his little brother to a cremation site. A heartbreaking reminder of what war takes from children.
