    Allow me to address the anxieties underlying your concerns, rather than try to answer every possible question you might have left unvoiced. First, let us consider the fact that for the first time ever, as a species, immortality is in our reach. This simple fact has far-reaching implications. It requires radical rethinking and revision of our genetic imperatives. It also requires planning and forethought that run in direct opposition to our neural pre-sets. I find it helpful at times like these to remind myself that our true enemy is Instinct.

      Its so funny to see people repeat this claim ad nauseam as the average life expectancy rate contracts for the first time since the fucking Great Depression.

      What if a cargo cult was an entire fucking nation, and drop shipping was their religion? What if you could one-click purchase being 26-years-old forever? Idk, man. Sounds pretty neat. Anyway, you should sign up for my Kickstarter.

        I guess I'd never really thought of it but is half-life 2 literally a Palestine resistance simulator? The combine even took over earth in the "7 hour war".
