    Your answer, not mine. As mine would be I'm not set on it needing to exist even when it does or continues to.

    If only since folks other than me will have continued to rise above baselessness regardless. People having it potentially harder or either way differently than me.

    Like anyone would be needing bigotry like needing a bad cough. And coughs exist, believe it or not.

    I feel readily convinced how folks other than me compel me onto living with them moreso than despite whatever. That won't be rocket science or is it? That last bit being meant rhetorically I might add.

    I can't wait until we fuse ourselves with machines and become immortal energy-data clusters with magnitudes more knowledge and nigh-infinite manifestations, because I want to see what excuses we'll have to still hate each other.

    Do you know how that work? i have read enough fiction to know that only your brainwaves are saved and then used for a robot, while your real body, you as the person is still living and i would not stand watching another me living eternally while myself is dying.

    We actually have something like that right now in climate change.
    Effort seems to mostly go into finding ways to deny it exists or that it isn't that bad and nothiing needs to be done.
