About aliens: no doubt, we all want that when they arrive they first talk to Whoopi Goldberg; after that, it's all good. On a more interesting note, though, we have this vexing paradox (Fermi's paradox) regarding the absence of aliens visiting Earth, despite the stupendous number of exoplanets with all those technologically advanced civilizations. After all, astronomers keep finding these planets by the thousands; and I'm sure there are now realtors trying to sell them to guys like Elon Musk.
But I think I know why the aliens aren't visiting; and it's not because they all self destroy in nuclear apocalypses. I mean, look at us; we can actually keep on living with ever increasing nuclear arsenals.
So, the thing that really does in every advanced civilization is that they quickly reach the epoch of unhingement and they fizzle out in pile of steaming shit.
Liz, I so look forward to your weekly commentary on our unhinged world. Your humorous take on our current earthly plagues give me hope that there is some sanity. Get on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He needs you! Write up your personal list of contemporary plagues that I can read out at our Katz Family Seder this year please. We need you! We love you! We miss you! Your unhinged Aunt Sand.
This is an extra special episode; and it had to be, for the vortex has been mighty strong. Oh, boy, I'm gonna need a few days to digest it and to come up with a decent, worthy comment. Anyway, let's start with the powerful philosophical observation about time: "the shitshow construct that is time". Liz, you are channeling, and really paraphraseing St Augustine here, my dear. Or dare I say my love; forget Hinge, you have platonic lovers galore, here on substack.
Staying strong and being unhinged is difficult but I’m trying! Always a joy!
I believe in you !!
