So am I, it's just unfathomable.
I lived there for three years and it's never stopped to feel a bit like home.

I have never seen it in person. I can't even imagine how those who have are feeling

Irreplaceable loss. I can't imagine what the people of Paris must be feeling. All that history just gone...

[cornerofmadness]

It just seems impossible it's all gone. It's tragic

Well on the one hand most of the art had already been removed for the renovations, so a very large portion of the original statues and art are still intact. I just have a hard time caring about inanimate things when there is so much horrendous shit happening to people and other living creatures that no one cares about. I'm recognizing my increasing levels of nihilism as the years go by.

But I liked this thread about how well prepared they were for this.

This is The Long Now in action. It's what happens when you maintain civilization.
