There's some speculation in the comments on this site that the American Battlefield Trust purchased it as part of an effort to preserve a historic battlefield location in Princeton. So they don't want to be destroying other historic stuff, I guess?
It's tough! The thought of non-existence used to terrify me. For years I clung to religious beliefs, which also terrified me. Eternal torture for nonbelief? Even worse than non-existence! If the religion I was taught was wrong, which was right?
My brain would latch onto these questions and repeat in circles so I couldn't sleep. I learned to distract myself with made up bedtime stories. I picked up rituals like prayer that I held onto for long after I stopped believing. The ritual was soothing. Slowly, that fear faded and I don't pray anymore . I don't fear a hell now, so it's non-existence, like sleep, which doesn't feel as frightening as it used to. Since they's no reason and no purpose to anything, I don't have to sacrifice myself to fit some role. There's no great work I can do that will change this.
I'm 40 and sitting here watching a friend play a videogame and petting my cat. I will hang out with my neice this week and play DnD on the weekend and the lack of meaning or purpose - this emptiness - relaxes me.
What I mean is - take it slow. Don't completely ignore the fear, but if it's too much, find distractions ro reduce the pain. You wont come to the same conclusions I did, but if you try to take it slow, you might get to your own peace eventually. Maybe you'll decide that doing good things brings you peace, or building a home you love or something.
Practice slowly breathing, find distractions that genuinely work for you, and think about these things at times when you're in an okay place - not the dead if night when they're huge. If that doesn't work or it's never small enough to handle, try therapy.
from wikipedia: "De Chirico's conception of Metaphysical art was strongly influenced by his reading of Nietzsche, whose style of writing fascinated de Chirico with its suggestions of unseen auguries beneath the appearance of things"
neat! so the confused and uneasy feeling i got looking at this was part of the point.
In January 1965, Time Magazine called him “The Atheist Rabbi.” While Wine was indeed an atheist, he was more apt to call himself an “ignostic.” By any name, his non-theism is a centerpiece of the approach that he crafted.

My aunt's husband died suddenly and i was initially sad even though we weren't pals, but when she was going through his papers she found out he was a chronic liar and con artist. he would claim to own a building and be getting money from tenants and it turned out he did not own that building- that kind of thing. he was also cheating. he lied about stuff that didn't even matter, too. so i was glad he passed away before he screwed up my aunt's life more than he did.
I adore this. It's got personality! If someone invited me up there, i'd feel weird if i wasn't in full vampire regalia, even if i was just popping up there because they forgot their keys on the loveseat.
Here is my attempt to explain the joke, assuming you were genuinely wondering.
There is a lot of pressure to get into a heterosexual marriage, but the nonstop culteral messaging is also that it's normal and fine to despise your spouse. So when you aren't straight and don't see het partnership as inherently necessary for romantic fulfillment, the pressure and jokes together clash in a way that seems bizarre. You MUST do this and it SUCKS. So for non cishet people, the clash can come to seem ironic and funny. In a dark way, since that pressure can come with violence, for lots of people.
(It's also not harmless for hetero relationships, either. Contempt is a common prelude to divorce, after all.
