I've never understood the commonly expressed idea that if the end of the world seems inevitable that it is therefore logical to work towards it.
Why not...just not? And see what happens? We're all guaranteed to die anyway, so what is there to lose? It's not rational to bet on the end of the world in any possible situation.
I'm having similar thoughts a lot recently, which are far from original to me, yet I am disturbed by all the people who apparently don't have them.
Like, the richest guy in the world cares about union busting and tax breaks at the moment, but why? I literally can't imagine anything he can gain from being a bastard at this point, and so I can't even get viscerally angry. It's more like contemplating the mysteries of a tornado. What the hell makes it go and what would stop it?
