my certainty about whether our space brothers, born of common ancestors, will actually come back to save our asses is not 100%

but my certainty about needing to navigate a way to avoid the blatantly stupid people who are going to drag everyone around them into the abyss, is 100%

so i'm going to escalate my efforts to live without excessive dependencies, nay, to cut all dependencies on the stupids as much as possible

i have another 50 years or so, probably, and it's worth it for that

but if a lady catches me i'd like to be focused on ensuring she and our spawns don't either get caught in such dependencies and are mentally prepared for a zero electric life as might happen for a time in the future while everything is wild out there in our galaxy
