The abandoned Chernobyl cooling tower is quite hot. Not hot, according to the Russian government, is twenty miles away, and will remain so for at least the next 35 years.
what i consider to be 'hot' in the way this is intended, is to have your own perspective and your own aesthetic that is not based too directly on those you're familiar with the appearance to you of other people having. what i mean is instead intrinsic to yourself, to your own 'soul' if you will, which i consider your identity to also be, which can be summarized and perspectives, priorities and perceptions. i know that's a bit circular. but at any rate 'hot', and as a term for favorable, as i don't find excessive ambient temperature pleasing to my personal aesthetic, is kind of almost oxymoronic. so i prefer "cool" instead. it is good to have an abriviated term for aesthetically favorable. so anyway, what is 'hot' or 'cool' to me, is mostly minimal form factor of constructed spaces and infrastructure. minimal form factor applies to living organisms too. well mostly. although big enough to pick up and not need a microscope to see. and by living organisms that includes humans also of course. but really its enclosed spaces, their furnishings, and the infrastructure that makes comfort, convenience, and access to information, tools, learning, materials to make things with, all of that possible, and to eat a diverse and healthy diet possible too, that are what inspires interest, curiosity and creativity in me. and when it comes to making things, humans have seriously over done the rectangle. so little non-rectangular shelters as houses and for every other need or use for enclosure and shelter, and 'rail'/'guideway' based transportation technologies of minimal form factor, (narrow gauge railways, like contractors railways and park trains, but as real transportation, are an example, but only a sampling of the wide range of possibilities) surrounded by great big forests and mountains, but you know, adding just that touch of imaginative expression. and gardens, really strange, almost natural like, again avoiding that rigid angularity that nature mostly seems to abhor, other then in chrisaline formations in rocks, resulting in acreation folowing their chemical structure. those can be fascinating by their diversity of different ones, and how nature varies the surrounding circumstances of their formation. but generally small is beautiful isn't just an euphamism, its also an aesthetic. i just like little things that have a clean sort of complexity, but also how, in nature very little is repetitive in detail even though in general structure there may be a comonality of form. i've used a lot of words and i don't know if i've said it well. the brief version as stated at the outset, is non-rectangular minimal form factor. (ok, i'm weird, but that's 'hot' too. and cats. especially feral but friendly cats. and life forms, imaginary or other worldly as the case might be, that combine cats, mustalids, and large creative and imaginative sapient brains, and forepaws that are dexterous enough to make things)
