considering this playplace rn. a bare, industrial box of prefab mcfun, without individuality or character, every trait run by some financial approval board to justify & approve its existence.
in these ways, it is the opposite of the children it's intended to entertain. they all have unique individual personalities & characters, which i desperately hope they don't ask approval for—approval only granted after a scientific process of ascertaining financial efficiency.
it's interesting—perhaps unsurprising—that adults are like this playplace.

"a new hobby, you should monetize that!"
"aren't those baubles a little impractical?"
"i'd love to, but that wouldn't be good for my career..."
yet despite all our concern for these things, the playplace is empty—adults can't even keep the world safe enough for children to play in the plastic, mass-produced mcfunbox that serves to turn individual, spontaneous children into rational, productive adults.
the playplace is, like many adults, empty. there is no life in it. there is no trace a child was ever inside, and this is because of what adults have wrought https://twitter.com/exotericist/status/1356467479334191104?s=19
i think life is its own justification. i think childhood provides its own perfect standard of objective beauty. i think the destruction of such things is objectively evil and reminders of how we lack these things should sadden us & galvanize us to act in their defense
i'm a vitalist btw https://twitter.com/exotericist/status/1356470270848946176?s=19
