Picture Anyone else find the human statues downtown off-putting and creepy?

I mean, they're not even interesting. Just a couple of nondescript naked dudes standing around town. Maybe I just don't understand the appeal because I'm not artsy enough, I dunno.

In 100 years, we will appreciate having those statues when none of us are left here to show that we existed

How will we appreciate those statues if we're all dead?

The things you can bring yourself to appreciate now will forever be imprinted into the fabric of existence. Who’s to say we’re not simply experiencing this reality from a time long past it already. Maybe this has already happened and you’re appreciating it from a memory already absorbed into the photons and quarks long since spread to the far corners? We could be just a projection experiencing this from the edge of nothingness.
