Brian in Dublin says, when I was in primary school, I had a teacher who told us that every single human invention had ultimately been used for evil.
It was nihilistic then and it's nihilistic now.
Marshmallows.
Have marshmallows been used for evil?
Dog blankets.
I don't know if it's nihilistic to think of inventions.
And there are applications for this.

This is really cool, right?
So this is Peter.
He sent us a link to this Wikipedia page about a town in the Alps called Viganella.
I haven't heard this story.

Viganella, this alpine town, remains shadowed for 83 days per year, between the 11th of November and the 2nd of February.
