The stairs are part of an art installation at the Kongresshaus in Biel, Switzerland. “Beautiful steps number two” was created in 2009 for an exhibition. The artists told the website Snopes the stairs and doors are not functional, and the steps are not meant to support real people.

"Yes, because the reduced happiness of others elevates mine in comparison. This is because I believe in a rigid social hierarchy where happiness is zero-sum, and it’s the only way I’m able to climb the ladder. Once the short-lived boost in happiness inevitably wears off due to the world not actually working in that way, I will further look to enable suffering to forever chase the high in the only way I know. I will never truly feel deep satisfaction and inner peace, and I will slowly decline into old age feeling ever more isolated and bitter.

Get rekt, libs."

I remember reading something years ago about an ex troll, he said he’d do it because getting attention, even negative attention, made him feel happy. I honestly think half the time they’re just depressed and don’t know to elicit positive interaction.

I don’t know exactly what to do with this knowledge, btw.

I think so long as: —

a) it’s based on the average rent for the area,

b) they give everyone at least 3 months’ notice, and

c) there’s extra help for those struggling to find cheaper (and reasonable) accommodation (including footing extra to cover their current rent if necessary)

then I think it could work. I’m open to having my mind changed though.
