I have actually been thinking about the Thank You Joe chants for... a lot of this time this week, frankly.

It's one of the most horrifying things as they let this very clearly dying old man out to pasture. Cancer diagnosis aside, very clear he was in some degree of decline. We don't need to retread this. This is pretty well known. But no, I have been thinking about how that whole auditorium broke out and chanting, thank you, Joe, for nearly five minutes.

So yeah, RIP Dilbert, I guess. Let's move on to anti-natalist terrorism. So I've learned this week that people don't know what antinatalism is, which as someone who grew up in Portland is kind of surprising to me because there was some very, very prominent like antinatalist protesters who would sit up downtown outside of Powell's books pretty frequently. And we kind of all grew accustomed to them.

And honestly, I'm a little bit sympathetic to their arguments. I understand where they're coming from. Uh-huh. Anti-natalism is the belief that procreation is unethical.

This could be based on the idea that there's been like this rapid increase in human population, which has done extensive damage to the planet, or that simply being born is inherently a non-consensual act, especially being born into a world with high levels of suffering. So these people opt to not have children as this ethical standpoint. Everyone's entitled to their own choice.

You don't need to agree with it, but whatever. Now, interestingly, this past weekend, there was a quote-unquote active terrorism that has been linked to antinatalist philosophy. I'm just talking about this as it is an instance of kind of the brain rotification of this entire society and the redditification of terrorism combined with this growing sense of nihilism driving violent extremist actions.

No one was killed except for the perpetrator, alleged perpetrator in this incident. But I still think this is worth talking about as it can be seen as in a sequence of weird terrorism. This is something that Roberts can be working on for a piece later down the line, right? This is not the first car bomb this year.

We had the Tesla Cybertruck explosion earlier, which was similarly kind of a weird incident.
