YOU'RE REEK, AH! Newly Discovered Evidence.

Bringing this part of Our History: At least this part of the story, this mini-series, sequence of posts, regarding the search for evidence of so-called "intelligent beings" back in the age of "Clue-less-ness" which could, now that We are experiencing the culmi-Nation of all the bills They passed -- the ones that They so willingly passed on, with-out proper funding...the age of "Reckless-ness" -- to a conclusion. One that has managed to pierce what elders used to call Our age of Innocence...what has caused Us in this modern age of Worth-less to grow up too quickly, not enjoy a full and proper childhood...a stage that presumably occurs prior to the age of Reason, which has Us wondering about Them even now...as well as the identity of the One who came along and arrested Their development...

Newly Discovered: After all these centuries by Now, legions of US, following so many trails, fastidious footsteps, both before and after They used the gizmos on Their wrists to count them...comes an ancient vessel, surfacing, an 1800 year-old Roman 'jar' -- at least it was estimated to be about that old back then, in 2023, when it was simply "un-earthed" -- as in when all the dirt and crud was cleaned off, came...

The Great Reveal: Which used to be an occasion back in the age of "Young and Reckless" -- what They called a "soap opera" (which for Us leaves us begging, "Come Clean!") -- the great build-up from the week before and the one before that...which eventually became incorporated into Their culture, a reason for parties...to simply let those that cared at all, what the gender of the expected was discovered...followed in kind by what We have discovered -- evidence of "name calling" parties...but, of course, as you have become accustomed, if you have visited here, read any of the 552 posts "I digress"...

Back to the Future: And to what They, the Youts of tomorrow, may "wake up to" -- new evidence of what They (We, as in US) really believed in, the themes and memes of those daze, the ones that appeared in what They called coffee mugs, what We Worthless now sarcastically refer to as "mug shots" as they seem so prosaic, lacking in poetic beauty (except "Russia is the new dog"😕😉)...especially when stacked next to that found from centuries earlier which seemed to project the appreciation for, poetically presented by Virgil -- as in, loosely translated, "how to care for a farm"...accompanied by a liquidly substance, about half-full, giving rise to the early debate of how to look at life, as well as centuries later...

Themes and Memes: What used to be reflected on in early days of theatre, as the main theme or conflict, which for Them became memes, which were like boiled down wisdom, based on what We have found through what's still valued as carbon dating, allowing Us to decipher and then at least attempt to interpret, what the hell They meant by, the sharp contrast in thought versus actual experience -- aka a small dose of "REALITY!" -- what We found at the bottom of such vessels..."Wake up and smell the coffee...stop and smell the roses" versus for Us, "What reeks to high heaven?!" (at least They left a vaping hole in the ozone so all this skunky stench can escape) And "We need to pass this bill...the funding will come later" versus "Invest in Youts of Tomorrow" (which for Us is experienced as the Under "Funding of Youth") And, "A Giant leap..." which was a quote when one of Them landed way away from this land We are rediscovering...one made while "more than a half billion watched from down below" This, versus "True character is what you  do while no one is watching" The latter had to encircle a whole Starbucks container, given its elaborate nature...

In Reality: Where we all find ourselves, after "all is said, lots still to be done..." Where we all return, visit from time-to-time, for clues, well after hard currency is no longer a thing...nonetheless tangible evidence, of what "We really stood for" As in willing to stand up...on behalf of another, in need...

Head-liners: From yester-year, today and...Well before the fore-going vessel containing the message from the poet Virgil was "newly discovered" we all benefitted (those that read his "Man's Search for Meaning") from Viktor Frankl's account, from the crucible of a concentration camp of what, based on the guard's witness, could account for the humane acts done between the prisoners, after the guards had done their collective best to beat the hope out of them. And, as recently as 6-24-23...I, witness accounts, on behalf of innocent bystanders: "It's in the midst of this tragic setting that we are witnessing such humane acts...as long as the world is repulsed by the horrible treatment of these innocent people, there's reason to hope..." 

Meta-phorically Speaking: Way after the "Meta-verse" is replaced by yet another reality, there will always be the "Youts of Tomorrow" and ways of using earlier 'things' to convey messages that never grow old, as "passed down through the ages" by so-called sages..."A potter's wheel" which was an instrument, early machine for an artist to shape clay, make ceramics, vessels...coffee mugs...One which has also been used by modern writers to convey how all of US here, are yet...

A Work in Progress: As in not fully formed. One can only hope. 

As for You, Youts of Tomorrow: Just for clarity, "Youts" is not mis-spelled, nor miss-pronounced, even though the southern judge couldn't quite make it out in the diction of one Joe Pesci in "My Cousin Vinny" who, despite being inexperienced and under-funded, brought his best on behalf of two..."Youts" in a time of great need...

"Who better?" It's up to YOU and Me; They're counting on US.
