Original Note:
For context: The penguin posts reference Werner Herzog’s 2007 film “Encounters at the End of the World” about the “nihilist penguin”, who goes off solo to explore. It rarely returns, but when it does, it brings knowledge to the herd. It’s a metaphor for human behavior. https://lwlies.com/article/werner-herzog-penguin-encounters-at-the-end-of-the-world https://kottke.org/24/12/werner-herzogs-nihilist-penguin https://medium.com/@max.heermann99/penguins-still-cant-fly-but-they-can-be-nihilists-0c8e4e4ebc82
