Apparently I need to give you €29 for a block of wood.

The rounded edges are really nice though.

Wait I thought of something I need. I need not to have this.

Is it a joke, art, or a rather shallow and cheesy meme?

In any case, the only thing having one of these on my desk would remind me of is how I mis-allocated $50 that could have bought my kids some schoolbooks, fed an African for a month, etc, etc.

This is sarcasm, the question is whether or not the sarcasm is intentional or not.
Whoa, that's deep bro.

Would get one if it wasn't expensive - just a sanded and painted block of wood? The methodology is cool, but it seems like a marketing strategy - could make your own and have the same impact.

My reaction:

"Ok, I understand the appeal to minimalism, but what's with the 2001: A Space Odyssey monolith?"

Just pick up a rock and put that on your desk, surely that would hold greater significance.
Well they're right about one thing...
This is the doge of deco.
