Thanks for putting this out again. I missed it before. I cannot fathom the emotional end of being there in person. I visited the Holocaust Memorial Museum in DC a few years back, and it deeply affected me for days. Can't imagine actually being in Auschwitz/Birkenau in person. You did an incredibly strong post on showing and describing the experience. I thought your poem was extremely hard hitting, and very emotional to read, beyond well written.
So important for these horrors to stay on the forefront of everyone's mind into the future. It is so easy for humans to slip back into treating one another in unfathomable, horrendous ways, though few could compare to these times of history. And as the DC memorial emphasizes, it is not only in history, but ongoing on many scales/locales today. I'm sure this was a bit hard to write, think you mentioned that, so thanks for that.
Well, on to a happier note, hope your New Year is going well, and is a grand one. Cheers on a Sunday in January
Hi m8
Yeah, it was mentally a harsh experience, if I'm honest.
But as you say, these things must never be forgotten!
Happy new year :)

Seems a long time since I was there with @bingbabe, shame we missed you.

Yeah, man... it's a shame we didn't meet. It was a while back now.
I was properly inside my own head at Auschwitz, but emerged from the introvert shell on the bus back. I remember having some awesome fun conversations with jayna and nomadicsoul. It's almost like we were helping each other out of the deep sadness of that place.
I dunno, some people can distance themselves psychologically from stuff like that, which is fine. I can't keep the emotional distance when visiting somewhere like that, so I end up engulfed in the feelings of the place.
Wouldn’t have missed it for anything. It was some experience, I documented it all in black and white, it seemed more fitting.

I believe that someone will visit old factories and think we were slaves and mistreated in the future and just the thought of it will also make them feel sick in the stomach. They will think we lived like live stock trading our most valuable asset(time) for subjective ethical values.

I certainly hope that the world develops into a less polorized place, that's less driven by the consumers, those who take advantage, and the consumed! I don't see any indication of it right now to be honest.
The Wealth gap increases, and acquisitions of wealth is seen as the ultimate goal in so many places around the world.
I think evolution beyond our current systems is essential though if we're not to destroy the planet that sustains us. Money, and the pursuit of it, is a big driver of our consumer mentality for sure.
I can only agree! What an awesome reply mate! Appreciate that a lot. You are right! We are all or at least most of us producers and creatives and not born to work in assembly lines. With decentralized DLT some networks will have the potential to change that. So called influencers are usually rich brat alpha consumers who just have elite education or expensive equipment but most of them don't really create much value. Now that we can empower the true creatives to timestamp publications, work and patents, plagiarism, and not adding the author of a quote becomes so evident of the consumerists unoriginality. People on centralized social get credits for value they haven't even created. I think your comment and your post is very insightful, because i can see that change happening in baby steps. Once people understand money theory, subjective values as opposed to marginal utility, indirect and direct exchange as opposed to money theory, that gap could vanish quickly and that upper social class could at least funnel wealth to empower the right people. Lets hope that this information will reach people that care about community and creating wealth and basic income or a quality standards of living for everyone.
