I worry that your point is even worse than I thought.

Very true.

It’s been genuinely good to talk. All the best for next week.

People talk about the subconscious as if it’s a real thing rather than his invented theory to explain away the fact that the vast majority of people quite firmly believe that they don’t want to have sex with their parents.

You and I completely and utterly disagree.

Just search the web for TSLA. The downturn corresponds pretty much with news about Musk in the DOGE.

A T1 supertanker (first hit on duckduckgo) has a capacity of 450 million litres. If we divide that by 3.5ml, we have more than 120 billion. If, say, a third of the world’s population is of an age and biology that they were able to add to the tank, that’s still about 47 contributions per guy on average, so that’s going to be some VERY stale goop in there and it will stink pretty badly.

I think there’s more marine like that would happily eat sperm than poop, though.

I… I don’t think I’m completely neurotypical.

(I meant it as a compliment.)

Dystopian.

In the UK, former Prime Minister Liz “crash the economy within 40 days off taking office” Truss proposed criminalising giving homeless people a tent.

I was appalled.

It didn’t get passed, partly because her party got rid of her faster than you can say “unpopular economic mismanagement”, thank goodness.

The more people that treat homeless people as valuable human beings the better the world is.

Freud was a sick, sick man.

We give his deranged nonsense theories based on his deranged damaged patients far, far, fartoo much credence.

I mean, if you think about any of them critically, even for a minute, his theories are obviously complete and utter bullshit.

I think you’re quite a few decades out of date with that opinion. The Chinese government is very worried about population decline now.

The nasty bit was telling a mother she has to have an abortion against her will.

China now has the opposite problem of a declining population, which causes problems because of the working age population is small compared to the older population, you end up running out of money so you either have to tax more heavily or abandon older folks to their fate without helping them.

The declining population problem is very common in wealthier countries.

And lower population means fewer jobs. The number of jobs that need doing in a country doesn’t depend on the area of the land, it depends on the population size. The problems come when governments don’t build infrastructure. If you don’t build schools and hospitals and suchlike, three are fewer jobs in construction and less money going into the local economy, and schools and hospitals get crowded and do a worse job.

Excellent. Thanks for answering. This was really worth asking and I think that there’s ocean of good in you. I’m intrigued by “likely to become a crime pretty soon” but don’t feel you have to elaborate.

Yeah, I get that, but you’re avoiding the question: what are you proud of, for yourself?

See, this stuff with putting other people down, it just makes me wonder if there’s not anything in your own life to feel positive about? Like, what are you proud of, for yourself?

I love you.
