Footage from the documentary Encounters at the End of the Word.
Antarctica: A mentally deranged and disorientated penguin heads neither towards the feeding grounds, nor back to his colony, but instead goes straight towards the mountains. The penguin is heading towards certain death.
The really sad thing about this video is nobody thinks to follow the penguin to see where it's going and if it is really facing certain death. They just make up a story about it, appreciate the allegory, and move on. For all we know that penguin could have found the fountain of eternal life or some other glorious secret, but we're too busy condescendingly mythologizing its 'derangement' to find out.
I know penguins aren't super intelligent but they're pretty smart for birds and maybe after a while they just want to know what's out there beyond the endless snow.
Or maybe I'm just stretching things to try and find an answer.
everyone thinks hes a depressed pengiun
who wants to suicide
but really hes a fucking scholar and innovator and explorer

Is it mentally deranged to explore the unknown?

why not follow him?
perhaps he's going to some crazy penguin sanctuary, or penguin heaven, an unknown valley ?
