Reviewer: make your characters believable!  Look to real life for inspiration.
Me: Okay.
Reviewer: That character is obviously a malignant sociopath and people still like them?!  That seems unrealistic.
Me: ...

"Hi, America. I'm a billionaire, who's never done an honest day's work his entire life. The only thing I dodge harder than the draft are my taxes. I was best friends with a notorious pedophile and human trafficker, and admitted to grabbing women nonconsentually. Don't think too hard about my fanacial stake in Miss Teen USA at that time. Total coincidence. I said I'd fuck my own daughter, if I wasn't related to her. I pander to Christians, but can't quote a single verse. I bankrupt every business I touch, including casinos. Every other world leader thinks I'm a clown, I have zero social skills, and I literally smell like shit. I have the support of literal Nazis, the KKK, and other hate groups, and I refuse to disavow them. I attempted to overturn an election I lost, and my employees wrote me a roadmap to destroy the balance of power. My plan to fix the economy is to kick out the brown people, citizens or not, and applying aggressive tariffs. Don't Google how those work until after the election is over."

America: "Wow. This guy sounds perfect for the job. Let's put him in charge."
"Oh, wearisome condition of humanity,
Born under one law, to another bound;
Vainly begot, and yet forbidden vanity,
Created sick, commanded to be sound."

I like how I just have to say "malignant sociopath" and the normal people already know who I'm talking about.

Me in every RPG:





Let's be friends!  Awww, you guys got me a gift (tribute), how sweet!  I guess this planet will live longer than the rest.

Sometimes, I can be pretty optimistic.  Like Star Trek VI optimistic.  But most of the time, it's more like Judge Dredd or The Outer Limits.  On average, it's more like a Futurama optimism.  Or maybe Final Space.

I've seen too many dire predictions come and go to be worried about any pending apocalypse.

2012 was hysterical. "End of the Mayan calendar! We're all doomed." Yeah, like Dec. 31st (any year) is a  harbinger too.

Sometimes, I feel like it's all an unusually long-lasting Jenga match.  Sure, lots of predictions that it'll all crumble were wrong.  In fact, they were all wrong.  But sooner or later, someone makes a move that was just a tad ill-considered and a tad too awkward on an already teetering base...

For an Abnormal Psych* class I took at Purdue I tried to read an 1,800+ page "proof" that "the end was NOT near", that it had, in point of fact, already happened. Seems that humans are continuing on through pure cussedness. Being Irish on my parents' sides of the family I had to consider that carefully.

About 50 years ago I read a book called The Terminal Generation, about how it would all end during the lifetime of the people then living. Too bad it didn't come true.

Obviously, the red giant sun incinerates our home planet. I would believe in miracles if that's what ends homo sapiens, however.

Normal evolution, whereby only the fittest survive, simply takes too long compared to relatively fast atmospheric changes. That has been the doom of almost all species at some point. You spend millions of years perfecting for a certain niche and that niche just disappears. "Abita abita abita, that's all folks".

And of course, what is different with homo sapiens is that "fit" could also mean wealthy or socially powerful. The wealthy and powerful might forget that large numbers of desperate individuals have power too. The same kinda thing Putin is thinking about when he tries to sleep on a cold, cold night.

Who would feed the dogs and make cat toys.

Ooops, forgot. "The state 'not cat toy' does not exist in nature."
