The Loneliness of the Long Covid-19 Summer: AKA Do we all have to die? Anti- natalism & the over population crisis.

I don't know about you guys, but I can feel the early onset Alzheimer's hitting me like that new BTS Deal from McDonald's. I mean all I know about that meal is it's chicken nuggets, fries, and a drink which I'm pretty sure was already on the menu, but now we all get gaslit with commercials telling us that meal is somehow 'new,' so I guess like you, I don't know what's true anymore. 

Now if you're anything like me you spend all day on the internet listening to podcasts from guys like Sam Harris and doing pseudo-intellectual research from news articles and philosophy journals all the while consulting my personal library of 1970's Social Theory secondary literature from German philosophy authors that most you can't pronounce.

I do that mainly because I failed at my dream of becoming a philosopher, and because I enjoy reading secondary literature for fun. The second reason I do it is for you. Let's face it, you don't have the time to do research or read books anymore. Most of you have families and careers, or spend way too much time playing video games. Maybe it's been so long since you've used that brain of yours that you're just unsure of yourself, or maybe you come here because you notice a misunderstood genius™ when you see him. 

I've got to tell you that according to my research the mear fact that you have enough interest in this blog (now podcast) indicates a level of intelligence far greater than normal. When you read this blog you are engaging in ideas that the common folk out there have no idea about. How many people are talking about Critical Theory, anti-natalism, Nihilism, and Karl Marx on podcasts these days? Most people drink shitty carbonated soda water and discuss conspiracy theories like how the virus that causes Covid-19 was instigated by Aliens & Tom Cruise wants to gather your spirit souls together and dump them from a B-19 bomber that's been retrofitted with rocket engines so he can blow them all to hell in a volcano. I mean if true that's one hell of a conspiracy against the human race. 

Speaking of which one of the folks I began researching a few years ago is a man by the name of Thomas Ligotti. Ligotti is horror writer who wrote one of the best books to introduce the concept of anti-natalism to a mass audience.

Ligotti is best known for influencing the famous HBO TV show the True Detectives. Some, not me, but some people might say the writer from True Detectives borrowed liberally in a line-by-line fashion from the book The Conspiracy Against the Human Race. But I wouldn't say that! 

The conspiracy Ligotti is talking about here isn't Tom Cruise piloting an anachronistic WW2 bomber into outer space to deploy atomic bombs at trillions of spirit/souls. The conspiracy is that alone in the universe only human beings become aware of their existence and ultimately their deaths. 

No other creature. Just us. And frankly, that news is not really popular with our people. Nobody wants to talk about death. I wrote a podcast episode that was called 'suicidal musings' and it got about 1/5th as many downloads as my other episodes. Until I changed the title.  So you see the conspiracy against humanity is live and well even today.

I know I say this a lot but... life is suffering. Ligotti quotes the philosopher Bahnsen describing that events in the universe are an, "indiscriminate butchery and mutual slaughter among it's individuated parts." (Ligotti part 13 of 246)

Electrons smashing together, the tiger crushing the bones of it's prey, the lustfully engorged anus of a baboon being roughly taken. They all amount to nothing but destruction. Which is just pointless and unscripted. So who cares? Well, no one did until the consciousness of man arose. 

And even after that most of you have never considered the options when it comes to life or death. Half of you spend more time watching obnoxious tik tok videos than giving thought to the most important questions humans can fathom. I mean I work in a grocery store so I know what you agonize over like which flavor of ice cream to buy Rocky Road or banana split and since you aren't 7 the answer seems pretty obvious. 

Anti humanism & anti natalism 

There's a natural revulsion that elites have toward the lumpen proletariat masses. The dirty unwashed folks like you and me. That's why we prols are  suspicious of elites. It's why I wouldn't put it past the elites to be trying to cull the entire population. Maybe injecting us with trackers and allowing the Covid-19 to spread on purpose. 

Another way we know the elites hate us is that they study things like anti-natalism and intergenerational future philosophy. Anti-natalism is of course the philosophy that humans should stop giving birth to other humans, so that we can stop the agony of life. Some philosophers have even termed anti-natalism as the ultimate humanism. Nothing could be more human than ending all suffering in the future. Would this apply to other animals? I don't know. I've never heard anyone suggest it would. Though animal rights activists insist that other animals count when we talk about minimizing suffering as a foundational element of morality. But anti-natalism as the ultimate humanism is a bit odd don't you think? It means the ultimate good a human could produce comes from the extermination of humanity. 

Likewise when you asses another very new though popular idea like generational futures which contends that the future has a claim on us today. Usually it seems that claim wishes to control us to some degree. If it's not combating climate change, asking us to conserve resources, maintain the natural habitat, then it's asking us to invest and enrich future generations at our expense. It's not at all unlike a very rich man asking his poorer brethren to donate to charity. All those claims and requests seem fine and dandy unless you are sitting in some encampment in the developing world hoping for a few liters of clean water. 

Which just goes to show you that maybe the Illuminati, or the ruling class, or a bunch of shape changing interdimensional lizards really are hoping for our deaths. 

Honestly, who could blame them? Most of y'all are nasty. Now I'm not talking Jeffrey Toobin masturbating on Zoom© nasty. But nasty none-the-less.™

Speaking of good ol' Jeffery, I feel like maybe he got a raw deal getting fired from CNN for jerking the old tubin' after he thought he hung up on a zoom call. I mean what's a guy to do wait 20 minutes after a zoom call to masturbate like he's going swimming after eating a big meal? There are no riptides on the internet. 

Secondly, before we go here. How many of y'all got my Iron Maiden joke in the title about the long distance runner? I bet if you did you aren't a 15 year old with 6 Iron Maiden t-shirts that you forget to tuck into the back of your jeans, because for some reason Gen Z refuses to either tuck in or untuck a shirt all the way. I guess what I'm saying here is pull up your pants, wear a belt, and untuck that front tuck son. 

Either way all these lock downs have been doing is introducing you to the new lifestyle of choice for Japanese men and incels everywhere. The one where you don't go outside or have a bf/gf. 

All the rest of you norms acting like it's easy to jump from relationship to relationship. I mean it takes me usually six or 7 years to find a replacement for my girlfriend, which in hindsight makes my idea to dump my last gf seem maybe silly. The older and uglier I get & the more inflation starts eroding my modest raises of 25 cents a year the more it starts looking like I might be able to start my own anti-natalist cult. I'm not getting anyone pregnant in the near future and maybe Dr. Fauci is just getting us used to the idea that porn is all we need and let's just roast marshmallows on the embers of the human race. Frankly, that's a conspiracy I think I could get behind.
