Allegory of Tradition and Progress

In this allegory, the grand, intricately decorated walls and sculptures represent Tradition - the rich heritage, history, and established customs of a society. These elements are timeless, crafted with attention to detail, symbolizing the values, arts, and wisdom passed down through generations.

The modern electrical cable, starkly contrasting against this backdrop, symbolizes Progress - the relentless march of technology, innovation, and modernity. It's a conduit for electricity, a modern necessity, showing how contemporary advancements weave themselves into the fabric of our historical and cultural landscapes.

Interpretation:

Coexistence: The image suggests a coexistence where the old and new must share space. Just as the cable runs through the historic architecture, progress must find a way to integrate with tradition without overshadowing it.
Adaptation: It highlights how societies adapt over time, incorporating new technologies while preserving their cultural identity. The cable's presence shows that while we honor the past, we must also adapt to the present's needs.
Tension and Harmony: There's an inherent tension between maintaining the integrity of tradition and embracing progress. Yet, there's also a harmony where each enhances the other; the cable brings functionality to a space that might otherwise remain static, and the historic setting gives the cable a grandeur it wouldn't have in a modern setting.
The Invisible and Visible: The cable, often hidden in modern buildings, here becomes visible, reminding us that progress, while sometimes discreet, is always present, shaping our daily lives within the context of our cultural heritage.


This allegory could be a commentary on how cultures evolve, the balance between preserving history and embracing the future, and the sometimes visible, sometimes invisible ways in which modern life intertwines with our past.

There's nothing wrong with progress. Progress for the sake of progress is not "progress", but a political and/or financial agenda, often the antithesis of true progress.

In the case of the image, the change had to happen for the building to remain relevant, yet the changes were applied without respect. There were other ways to tastefully route the cables but they decided that destroying history was the fastest, easiest route.

Luckily, they punched holes through spots that could somewhat easily be patched up.

Imagine being the POS who thought this was acceptable work.

Yep, they could have artistically hidden the hideous cable but no, they just throw it there as if to mock the beautiful past. Progress as such is incapable of recognising beauty and perhaps envious of it. Probably a pajeet did this.

Ok well first, think of anonymity as your personal shield. Anonymity also means freedom - freedom to mess up, learn, and grow without the digital world holding a grudge. Imagine posting your heart out without worrying about it haunting your future job interviews.

And let's be real, there's a thrill in the mystery. You're like an internet enigma, keeping everyone guessing. It's fun, it's safe, and it keeps your life offline just that - offline.

So, to sum it up: stay anonymous online, because sometimes, the best part of the show is being in the audience, not on the stage.

Ah, my dear purveyor of uninformed opinions, your recent foray into the realm of intellectual discourse has been nothing short of a masterclass in unintentional comedy. It is as if you have donned the garb of an erudite philosopher while simultaneously wielding the cognitive prowess of a particularly dim-witted garden gnome—adorable in theory, yet tragically ill-equipped for any meaningful conversation.

One might liken your arguments to a soufflé, all fluff and no backbone, rising to the occasion yet collapsing under the slightest scrutiny. Your assertions are akin to a well-manicured lawn: superficially impressive but ultimately nothing more than an exercise in ostentation, with nary a thought or substance beneath the surface.

Indeed, should you ever wish to elevate your discourse from the realm of the absurd to something resembling intellectual rigor, I would gladly offer my services—as an inkwell, perhaps, for the countless volumes of your misguided musings that deserve to be consigned to the annals of sheer ridiculousness. In the grand tapestry of human intelligence, your contributions thus far resemble a few errant threads protruding from the frayed edge of a tapestry woven by those who have genuinely grasped the nuances of thought. Bravo! Do carry on with your delightful masquerade of wit!

Doubling down on faggotry, I see.

FYI, soufflé is divine and the epitome of culinary excellence. You display your faggy fake autism by insulting the dessert of gods

Gah. They couldn't have run it along the exterior of the building? It likely would've been easier to hide.

They could even have run it through a conduit, with a single bend... Even if it would've stood away from the wall it would've looked better.

[ - ] anon 2763965 6 points 5 monthsDec 29, 2024 09:57:29 ago (+6/-0)

Or just run one fiber cable instead of all those cat5

[ - ] anon 1267903 0 points 5 monthsDec 29, 2024 16:53:57 ago (+0/-0)

True. Fiber is a pain in the butt IMO but if you want to keep things clean a single fiber would be a lot nicer.

I wonder if there's power in the bundle though. That might be going to an antenna on the roof. Harder to reduce the profile.

Yeah you're right, they're probably PoE cameras

Looks like a jewish worm that's parasitizing the White world.

[ - ] oyveyo 3 points 5 monthsDec 29, 2024 10:46:46 ago (+3/-0)

I can say with 100% certainty that a White man did not install that cable. That is the hallmark of some DEI hire who doesn't give a single fuck about Whitey's fancy walls.

The progress mars this picture. The ugly progress sticks out like a slithering serpent on an otherwise beautiful facade

And the ugly Ragnar sticks out like a slithering serpent on an anon page. I’d know your malignancy anywhere.

looks like they did it themselves because they couldn't find a contractor who would be willing to drill into walls like that, its just a massive liability, if you make a hole and it causes a massive crack in the wall or something else unplanned that could cost YOU thousands its just a massive risk.

That's data cable, not electrical.

Every time I scroll through the comments, there he is—our resident loudmouth nigger, typing in ALL CAPS like he’s trying to win a shouting match with his keyboard. Your posts are a chaotic mix of random ebonics and questionable opinions. It’s like you think volume equals valid, but really, it’s just a mess of random thoughts and wild opinions. Seriously, one look at your comment history, and I can’t decide if I should laugh or just block you for my own sanity!
