Do you feel guilty at all about the homeless that are swept into furnaces these days to power your voracious electricity demands?

Is this feeble attempt to gesture at Thermodynamics predictive success as doomed to frustration as the prediction that the moon should be falling into the Earth but actually it's moving away from the Earth? How does Thermodynamics predict that mere movements on a gravitaional objects can contradict the often-taught principle that a body rotating another will eventually fall into it?

Being nonviolent, why can't I choose the first option? And why shouldn't I be able to announce my suicidal intentions openly, with arguments as to why suicide is a good idea, one that you should consider (and everyone else!) too?

Why is the stock market at record highs?

Remember when Reagan said Carter's couple trillion dollars of national debt was the endgame, but here we are with US stocks still the world's premier performance asset?

Is it time to ask whether Reagan did, in fact, prove that deficits don't matter?

Does it matter if the dollar depreciates 10% if your dollar assets appreciate 20%?

Why should I be happy that pure chance separates me from being hunted by drones, especially when I just get banned if I try to express sympathy for those unluckily suffering worse conditions than me? Why should I take part in this ridiculous nightmare of an unfair system?

Why won't you support laws that would let me buy a suicide solution, even if someone profits? Why force me to be underhanded and sneaky? Why are you afraid of me openly and proudly choosing death, and advocating that you should, too?

What if you buy US stocks with your dollars, and they go up more than the dollar declines?

Remember when your attitude was prevalent in the 1980s but the US stock market is still insanely profitable?

How come the stock market outperforms inflation and keeps setting new record highs? How are you going to buy the S&P 500 if you don't hold dollars?

But in a world where profit from death is so ubiquitous (animal deaths, weapons manufacturers, Blackwater, etc.), how arbitrary is drawing the line at suicide clinics?

From one of my brother's last notes (possibly the last):

"If they can put a man on the moon
You'd think
They could give us totally painless suicide,
available on demand, in clinics, for a fee.
Hell of a profitable business!!! of course,
the criminals would cut corners and the
sadists make you suffer until, like everything
else, you'd be as afraid to go to the
Clinic as you are to pull the trigger."

What is wrong with allowing me to buy a dose of horse tranquilizer (that is what my brother used, but he had to get his illicitly), hiking up to some remote hilltop, and lying myself down for the last time? Why force me to hide my intentions and use illegal websites to obtain my exit method?

Is it because the argument for suicide is so strong that you can't defeat it with words, so you can only ban it?

What if the horrific state of the world where a meek, nonviolent vegetarian like myself is bombarded by meat ads and even when I try to get away to the National Forest like the other day, I awake to a herd of cattle being driven through my camp, with yeehawing cowboys and cowgirls scaring the cows towards whatever horrific fate awaits them, as they looked at me with deeply hurt eyes? Why isn't it depressing to anyone else that only by accident of birth (cf. Rawls' veil of ignorance) we weren't born in Gaza?

Anyone else remember Woody Allen's "Sleeper"?

Dr. Orva: Here, smoke this. And be sure you get the smoke deep down into your lungs.
Miles Monroe: I don't smoke!
Dr. Orva: It's tobacco! It's one of the healthiest things for your body.

Is it less horrific if you do it surreptitiously, hiding your intentions, buying the horse tranquilizer on the dark web, like my brother did?
