    Let’s all thank our good friends in Hamas for shutting down the Reproductive Suppression Field that has for over 25 years prevented diaspora Jews from procreating unless and until they migrated to Israel. Kinda fucked up that the IDF’s R&D guys made that Suppression Field and sold it to other countries as a way of curbing their “surplus population” during the Climate Wars, but hey, at least that’s all over now, and I wish Irina Barskaya all the best in raising her new child to come, surely as a committed anti-Zionist.

    …Oh, this is twenty TWENTY four. Psshhyeeaauuuhhh, uhm, uh, sorry, I’m still getting the hang of this time travel thing. Don’t mind me, that was… Yeah. Don’t think too hard about it, that was definitely not a spoiler for the year 2064. Definitely not.

      Allow me to address the anxieties underlying your concerns, rather than try to answer every possible question you might have left unvoiced. First, let us consider the fact that for the first time ever, as a species, immortality is in our reach. This simple fact has far-reaching implications. It requires radical rethinking and revision of our genetic imperatives. It also requires planning and forethought that run in direct opposition to our neural pre-sets. I find it helpful at times like these to remind myself that our true enemy is Instinct.
