Notice how the cryptotechbro edgelord response to problems is to colonise space and go to Mars.

So... migration.

Their immediate, knee jerk intuitive reaction to big problems in their environment is to migrate.

Yet hate migrants.

Hmm, interesting.

»Zu den folgenschwersten Irrtümern gehörte bisher, daß man der Jugend alles sie anscheinend Gefährdende fernhalten wollte. Nein, nahebringen muß man es ihr, damit sie richtig sehen und richtig denken lernt. […] Mit der Muttermilch sollen sie es elnsaugen: Fortschritt muß sich zu allererst auf dem Gebiet der *Liebe* bemerkbar machen, auf dem Felde der verkrüppelten Menschenliebe.«

(Franziska Mann in "Den Erwachenden", 1921)

It is finished.
I am going to start it again one more time and I hope the ending is satisfying.

I know it's only November, but I'd like to make a request: if you are buying toys for kids in the next couple of months, and think you might have old ones that you want to clear out, please consider donating them before the holidays rather than after. Shelters and charities always get a glut of donations in January, but they'd be more useful to the families who need them now rather than then. Thank you.
