Bricks suck! Bring back large stones as building blocks!
Bricks are aesthetically unpleasant. From time immemorial they have been used as building blocks for buildings we live in. And yet there were civilisations of old that used to employ very large stones as building blocks for their buildings they used to live in.



Say that you are visiting an ancient city on your tourist trip  to enjoy the aesthetics of the civilisations of the past. Then you gaze upon these monstrosities:

Don’t worry, modern day bricks are just as unpleasant.

Sure we can paint them and pretend that they are beautiful to look at, and then we keep repainting them over and over over the course of our lives, only to leave behind ruins that will disappoint tourists 5000 years from now.



It wasn’t always like this. Some people managed to leave behind ruins that are still a joy to behold, and are very unique. Notice the size of their building blocks, and of the buildings in general:

Larger building blocks. More beautiful. Aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. These remains will last longer, and also don’t require people to paint them every other year till they die.

Notice how the wailing wall looks beautiful with larger blocks on the bottom. Look how bad the smaller blocks look on top.

These so called modern buildings are also fragile and prone to easily deconstruct, and their lifetime is also short, primarily due to small building blocks with cheap material. We are also reaching cultural zombiness all over the world. Nearly every city is the same. Gone are the days of originality and superior structure that stood for thousands of years.


However, like i said, in the past people used to build horrendous structures too:

Truly atrocious! Look at those disgusting bricks!
