No Points | Story About
No Points is an original story about how sometimes it can be valuable to just do something that doesn't have any point.
It specifically explores this through the worlds of academia, activism, and intellectualism.
The story tells the tale of an intellectual main character who has a revelation about having more happiness and he gets a painting commission to celebrate just enjoying happy things which he hangs the painting in his house. He then confidently decides to throw a casual party to encourage his intellectual friends to have the same happiness. Things do not go as planned.
