"We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid." - Benjamin Franklin (attributed).

Nescience, the Rotten Gecko A Gecko who was adventuring in the woods but got ambushed by nature herself. Now its body is used as a vessel to maggots to grow strong and healthy, kept safe by this big body they have slight but not complete control of it, but Nescience already gave up and accepted his fate, being eaten slowly until there's nothing. Uses an acorn as an helmet against its will to hide its state and to serve as a little refuge to the little ones, that want to rest in a dark yet safe place. Completely peaceful it's just a walking incubator for maggots and maybe other creatures that encounter it. Nescience: The lack of knowledge or awareness (it should've been more aware while travelling in the woods alone. Part of it isn't aware of what's really going on, but knows it's bad.) (Its acorns are often replaced do to rotting, so if you don't want to follow this beehive acorn it has going on you're completely free to be creative about it and be as quirky as you want with the acorn design. Shape, colour, stem, holes, extra stuff. Everything goes!) I love its design and I hope you all have fun with him :3

Optimism is the most beautiful form of nescience.

Calamity form is therefore profoundly anxiogenic. It raises the possibility not only that nothing we do matters but that everything we have done has doomed us in large and small ways. Nonetheless, reading calamity form invites us to consider how literature, the zone of de dicto par excellence, provides alternatives to the wholesale voiding of imaginative possibilities for future worlds. Nescience does not mark the end of optative thinking but rather is a provocation to it—an apostrophe, as it were, of the mind.
