It’s weird when you stray into the Covid-obsessed areas of the internet and realize those people will never let it go. In 50 years, they’ll be in nursing homes ranting and raving about Covid and no one will know what the fuck they are on about.

Degrowth is clownish. And every time anyone criticizes degrowth, there’s the perfunctory “that’s not the good kind of degrowth” response. Yet any time I see anyone point to the so-called “good kind” of degrowth, it’s just like the above, except they want to take away your refrigerator and running water too.

The above (only slightly exaggerated) happens so very often to men who are only used to disdain and rejection from women.
The culture of the future should a billion-year-long quest to conquer the galaxy and defeat death.
