The Peoples' Grief Montage

This hour and 40 minute montage is human prompted but significantly iTAIM/AI large language model generated content …or, this concept that the 'slow' emotions, particularly grief, are integral to our humanity, is a thing that can be argued to be social knowledge we no longer embrace and act on. The evolving concept of the Metapatha® Institute for the Thrashing of Acedia (MITA), which this montage is framed as coursework for, is intended to facilitate social curiosity, and this as an antidote to systemic avarice and acedia.
