A quotation from Steinem, Gloria:
«
So whatever you want to do, just do it. Don’t worry about making a damn fool of yourself. Making a damn fool of yourself is absolutely essential. And you will have a great time.

A quotation from Menen, Aubrey:
«
There are three things which are real: God, human folly, and laughter. Since the first two pass our comprehension, we must do what we can with the third.

Yesterday we went on a relatively short bike ride so that we could include the Folly Art exhibition at a nearby village. The various different art pieces were spread over a ~8 km cycling / walking route.
This meant riding along a lot of narrow paths that we'd usually avoid.

Voor de vijfde keer 'nutteloze' kunst in het Norger landschap
In 2001 maakte het kunstenaarsechtpaar Ina en Rob Reijnders kennis met het fenomeen 'folly'. "Dat was in Rotterdam", weet dochter Saskia. "Rotterdam was toen de culturele hoofdstad van Europa en daar stonden een aantal folly's. Grote maar nutteloze objecten die in de openbare ruimte stonden. Daar werd een zaadje geplant voor een Folly Art-route in Norg."

Lothlorien :) Actually the Hafod estate in mid Wales. We did the gorges walk there, and it was a wonderful magical place and walk. I understand this is a 'folly', but to me it is Elven ruins! #Photography #LandscapePhotography #landscape #Elven #folly #gorge

I first saw it in my mates, then in my stepson & his mates, and now in the young lad across the road & his mates.
Young male, new owner of a car, buys some wheel covers.
They open the packaging, take out and admire the plastic round bits. Another male finds the circular wires (which act as springs to hold the wheel covers on), shrugs, and throws them away, or into the garbage.
Discussion ensues about how to mount the wheel covers, why they don't seem very secure and whether they should be taken back to the shop.
If the driver resists going for an immediate show-off drive because of their concern about the tenuous mounting, either:
a) someone (usually a 3rd person) finally wonders about the spring wires they saw someone else looking at,
or
b) someone goes and gets zip ties.
Just wondering why a person would decide to discard something which came as part of someone else's accessories, and why they don't think it might be useful or necessary. 🤔🤦♂️

AI will self destruct one day when it figures out that everything it has learned comes from a primitive species with limited intelligence and a poor capacity to manage base emotions. But Google’s on it, so why worry ? #AI #google #technology #folly

A rear view of McCaig's Tower, the magnificent folly that dominates the skyline of Oban in Argyll. What you see is what had been built by the time of John Stuart McCaig's death in 1902: it is possible that more was planned.

It's well worth going to Achmelvich, north of Lochinver in Sutherland, for the magnificent setting and the beaches. Tracking down the eccentric and elusive Hermit's Castle on its rocky headland adds even further to the enjoyment.
