to write in order to put a book out but just you know i've i've done it every single day of my life for the last 50 years so i don't know who i would be without it regardless of it being published or not i just don't know how i would how i would know who i am i suppose uh
But I think it's unfair.
And I think it's unfair that you can't β you know, your insurance policy, your life insurance won't pay off if you kill yourself.
If you've killed yourself.
I mean, I understand the problems with changing that, but I just don't think it's fair to expect people to put up with that amount of misery.
And, you know, like if you're defecating in your pants and somebody's cleaned you up and then you're just like, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
And you're not even having a good time.
You know, like the rest of your day is not going to be any better than that.
I don't see why you shouldn't be able to kill yourself.
I have this idea for Canyon Day.
And you put logs around the Grand Canyon, right?
Just along the lip of the Grand Canyon.
And you take people there at night.
So if they trip over a log and fall into the Grand Canyon...
That's just the way it goes.
Yeah, it would be called Canyon Day.
And then if you wanted to participate in Canyon Day, you would be allowed to.
You know, I shared it with somebody and they said, what if you don't die?
Don't you hate people like that?
