mounds

what is more productive:

builing a dirt mound that will last thousands of years but which provide no utilitarian purpose..
or...
writing a computer program that no one will ever use and which will dissappear when the computer crashes but which you get paid for...

i guess its an existential debate...which makes you feel satisfied or important or connected?

  • when you see pictures of the mississippi delta during the '27 flood and the cattle that collected on top of old indian mounds, yes, they seem to serve a purpose.

    i am not planning on building a mound this year.
