#7 Inferno, 3rd in the Tom Hanks/Robert Langdon travelogue series of blockbuster hits. Better scenery than Twelve Monkeys.

#8 We don't need total extinction, Say about 30% or whatever the number of die-hard lefties... If they would go the way of most other doomsday cults things would sort themselves out.

#9 It is against this context that Patricia McCormack delivers her expert justification for the “ahuman”. An alternative to “posthuman” thought, the term paves the way for thinking that doesn’t dissolve into nihilism and despair, but actively embraces issues like human extinction, vegan abolition, atheist occultism, death studies, a refusal of identity politics, deep ecology, and the apocalypse as an optimistic beginning.

So... she's a goth with a PHD and tenure?

#11 Isn't there a Greek word for that?
"necrology" or some such?
