  • I once explored the hypothetical of what would make me abandon the love for one of my kids. I went with something awful: imagine we found out they were a gruesome serial killer in secret. I decided after pondering it that I would continue to love and support them even through that. No one else would, rightfully so. But I think it is my duty even when the rest of humanity has abandoned them.

    Writing this I thought of a variation. Instead of a serial killer, what if they murdered my spouse or one of their siblings. I’ll have to ponder that. I’d like to think I’d have the same unconditional love but I’m really not sure. In that case I might have to admit that I’m disappointed in them.


  • Your solution favors the wealthy who have the means to escape. The poor will be the ones to suffer and the elite will continue to peddle their elitism elsewhere.

    As an alternative to your plan, we could give the week’s notice and, when all the elite have escaped, nuke everything but the holy land. Problem solved. “The meek shall inherit the earth” and all that.
