O artista Dran mostra a nossa indiferença Eu já ouvi isso mais de uma vez. Geralmente acontece quando alguém vê algo que não lhe agrada nem um pouco. Ao se deparar com um item aborrecedor, a pessoa torce o nariz e diz: “se lá no futuro, uma escavação descobrir isso, o que vão achar da nossa civilização?”. Pois bem.

We create and contemplate lists of resolutions, often featuring some of the same goals from the previous year.
