What I have grasped from this post is - I can fashion together some type of crude object out of a coke can, bury it, and maybe thousands of years from now, someone will over-analyze and ascribe far more meaning to it than actually exists.

I feel you are a victim of what Ted Kaczynski describes as liberal oversocialization. In your case, while not having genius level brainpower, you probably have more than average, but not enough actual real world problems to spend it on.
