Daedalus and the Temple of the Seven Lights of the Earth

Cliffs are large and dangerous. So are big towers and additionally,
large edifices of knowledge. Conversely stupidity knows no bounds.
Inversely knowledge knows no stupidity. Or at least pretends not to.

Large dangerous cliffs are intrinsic drivers. Someone will jump. Well,
after climbing up them. So like you got yourself this really big and
wonderful tower which takes the place of a natural cliff... as no natural
cliffs are in the vicinity and you're bored and/or looking to kil yourself
or impress chicks. So now you need yourself a big tower. No worries, you'll
just make one. Not a big deal really. The big deal is then climbing up
the thing and jumping off.

So maybe you make yourself some nice wings. Or maybe you just continue
following the ass of the little rodent in front of you and just try and
make that leap of faith and transmigrate from being a lemming into being some
kind of bird like creature which looks suspiciously like a lemming. Either
way though my guess is it's not going to end well. Unless you're a scavenger
looking for a tasty, tenderized meal. It's not all bad for you though, you
at least are getting to be a team player and participant in the wheel of
life. Chirp, squawk, and babble your way on little campers.
