Here in Duluth there is the cold temple (the one that binds the people and
the physical site) which is the Lake, and the warm temple (the one that
binds the people together) which used to be the Norshor Theater, a
half-derelict building with 3 stages and a bar. But warm temples are
constantly changing. I think the fascist idea is to conflate the warm and
cold temples, to build an eternal thing, which, in human terms, is deathly.
Buildings should always come down, as human need changes and evolves.
