morse code in the cover illustration of Inferno

[miroo27]

hey, don't you think it looks a lot like morse code¿

i've tried to decipher it a bit, but so far nothing has worked out. in addition, a small part of the code is hidden by the cover.

in any case, you should get three three-letter words. words can also be abbreviated (such as the Philips code)

p.s.: Philips code

So that's the Canadian War Museum? I'm not sure they directly identify it in the post.

Yeah https://maps.app.goo.gl/a99T6thA5pL3uhhB6
The inlay pic appears to have a grass field with a horseback person edited into it, to make the monument look bigger too? Unless there's an identical wall somewhere else that pic is heavily edited... or just old, before some construction took place?

The message behind the inclusion of this monument seems clear. Thousands of soldiers have fought and died for their country, some of them successfully defeating an oppressor. Many a sacrifice has been made for the world to be what it is now, in fact previous generations were rather sacrificial by default. Few could escape it but today we've got more accessible options for that, people are lazier and more selfish than ever. As a result, few seem willing to make the sacrifices civilization would require in order to survive the challenges we're up against, which some call The Great Filter.

The sad part is, those sacrifices would almost certainly be milder than those of the preceding generations. Contemporary humans could still live comfortably while adjusting to the circumstances accordingly.

Depends what you mean by the challenges we're up against.
If you mean militarily, I think people are actually better informed about the world and therefore more reluctant to make 'sacrifices' that in reality are not about saving 'civilisation' but more about saving or protecting the political and economic power of a very small amount of people.
If you mean that people are reluctant to make sacrifices to their material comfort in order to prevent an ecological collapse, then I agree, to a certain extent, particularly with your last sentence, but also think the impact of the 'sacrifices' needed are often exaggerated by those who want the status quo to continue.

Could be militarily in the sense that it's a huge personal sacrifice, whether it's necessary for the perpetuation of a civilization is debatable. My country successfully defended itself against Russia during WW2 and it definitely didn't only benefit a small group of leaders but the entire population.

Regarding "the challenges we're up against" I'm sure you'd get a good answer from an AI but people like to reject some of the typical answers. The more undeniable problems pertain to pollution, resource depletion and such. For example we're losing fertile soil faster than it can regenerate.

What I mean by sacrifice could just mean devoting one's time to researching solutions instead of more self-indulgent pursuits. Let's say a person could choose between that or developing some useless consumer product and starting a business that'd be much more profitable than the first option, that's a sacrifice.

I know Morse code, and the letters are:

C (-. -.) W (.--) M (--) and

M (--) C (-.-.) G (--.)

namely the Canadian War Museum in English and French.

But you need to look at the Google street view pics not the album art as that looks reversed. For example there is no letter in Morse which is keyed ,-,-

Good call. I actually once had memorized the code too but only remember a few letters now. I thought maybe the phrases were abbreviated to their initial letters. This is the part of the building that displays what the person posted. Also if I'm not mistaken they took a street view picture and slapped "keyosc.com" on it. What kind of behavior is that?

I think defending one's country from a military invasion is something different, but I'd disagree with the idea these days that young people are lazy or snowflakes etc. that we often hear. I think there's plenty of evidence that every generation has been prepared to make sacrifices and put themselves in personal danger when the situation has been morally just. I think the difference is now that there's much more information available, lessons from history and so on for people to judge what is morally just.

Damn... this is making me emotional. The photomontage on the desert too... It went really quick from BoC to CMoW...
As far as I understand the architect, Raymond Moriyama of it was a japanese canadian who was put in a in camp during WW2.

Wow, that's a very powerful war memorial right there.

[Negamuse]

Weird because that seems to be a legit thing from the museum but the French morse transcription seems wrong. Looks like it's spelling "N'oubli jamais". Wonder why they wrote "N'oublions"

[Scories]

N'oublie jamais : You must not forget
N'oublions jamais : We must not forget.

About the soldier monument:
In the past, some young men were indeed prepared to sacrifice their own lives in the face of what was then seen as a threat to civilisation. But in this day and age, no one has been prepared to give up even a fraction of their comfort in the face of the ecological threat hanging over civilisation. The whole problem has been carried over to the next generation.
